ATTENTION NEW HOMEOWNERS!

GEORGIA LAW provides that every new homeowner, as of January of the new year, is eligible to claim Homestead Exemption as a tax benefit that can amount to considerable annual savings for the homeowner.

A Homestead Exemption allows a partial exemption on a portion of the assessed value of your home. The amount varies from county to county. You will be surprised by how quickly you can get this sorted out , you can do it as quickly as you sort your
home insurance
. In no time at all you will be reaping the benefits. To qualify for the property tax exemption, the HOMEOWNER must file for Homestead Exemption at the county Court House or Tax office, either in person, by mail, or on the web site, depending on the county in which you reside.

If you purchased land or investment property, please contact your County Court House to see if you need to file a special "tax return." This is not to be confused with an income tax return.

The following is a list of several counties, their phone numbers, and web sites. Though some have specific filing dates, many counties now permit you to file year round. Please call the number of the county in which you reside or refer to their web site for instructions on filing. If further assistance is required, call Michael Migliore, Broker at 770.271.3330.

NOTE: You need only file Homestead Exemption ONCE! You need not file each year...
