Tax Commissioner Reminder: Homestead Exemption Application Deadline

Tax Commissioner Reminder: Homestead Exemption Application Deadline

Lawrenceville, Ga., (March 21, 2014) – Tax Commissioner Richard Steele wants to remind homeowners that the deadline for all homestead exemptions for 2014 is April 1 and urges them to apply.

“Now is the time to make sure you are taking advantage of everything that can reduce how much you have to pay,” said Steele.

You must own and occupy the property as your primary residence as of Jan. 1 of the tax year for which application is being made. No exemptions are granted automatically; however, once an exemption is granted, there is no need to apply each year.
