Don’t Miss Out on Savings: File Your Homestead Exemption Before April 1st!

If you’re a new homeowner in Georgia, now is the time to take advantage of an important tax benefit—the Homestead Exemption. Filing before the April 1st deadline can help reduce your property taxes by lowering the taxable value of your home, putting more money back in your pocket each year.

Why File for Homestead Exemption?

The Homestead Exemption is designed to provide homeowners with valuable savings by decreasing the amount of property tax owed. If you live in your home as your primary residence, you likely qualify for this exemption, making it a smart financial move for long-term savings.

What You’ll Need to File:

✔ Your Closing Settlement Statement – This document, provided at closing, confirms your home purchase.
✔ Proof of Residency – A valid Georgia driver’s license or state-issued ID showing your new address.
✔ Your Property’s Parcel Number – This can be found on your deed or property tax bill.

How to File

You can file directly through your county tax assessor’s office, either online or in person. Each county has its own process, so be sure to check your local office’s website for specific instructions.
