FULTON. COUNTY. Homestead Exemption. Application Deadline: April 1. APPLY ONLINE. .fultonassessor. CALL US AT. 404-612-6440 x4. HOMESTEAD. EXEMPTION GUIDE. A Homestead Exemption is a legal provision, established by state law, that may reduce the assessed value on owner-occupied homes.
The Standard Homestead Exemption is available to all homeowners who otherwise qualify by ownership and residency requirements and it is an amount equal to $2,000 which is deducted from the 40% assessed value of the homestead property.
The exemption is not entered anywhere on your federal income tax return. Homestead exemptions are usually filed at your county courthouse, at the tax assessor's office.
Gather What You'll Need Homeowner's name. Property address. Property's parcel ID. Proof of residency, such as a copy of valid Georgia driver's license and a copy of vehicle registration. Recorded deed for new owners, if county records have not been updated. Trust document and affidavit, if the property is in a trust.
The $40,000 assessed value minus the exemption gives you a taxable value of $10,000 in this example. This is then multiplied by the Fulton County millage rate (9.2724) and then divided by 1,000 to give you your county property tax bill.
When someone owns property and makes it his or her permanent residence or the permanent residence of his or her dependent, the property owner may be eligible to receive a homestead exemption that would decrease the property's taxable value by as much as $50,000.
Do You Qualify for the Homestead Exemption? Own the home and plan to live there at least 6 months every year. - or - You own the home but live in a nursing home, hospital or extended care facility. You maintain your home but you have not leased or rented it. - or- You own the home and are on active military duty.
The homestead exemption provides an exemption from property taxes on a primary residence and protects the value from creditors, and circumstances that arise from the death of the homeowner's spouse. The exemption can't be claimed for another property elsewhere.
