FAQ
The Constitution of Georgia allows counties to enact local homestead exemptions. This exemption may be for county taxes, school taxes, and/or municipal taxes; in some counties, age and income restrictions may apply.
The Homestead Exemption reduces the taxable portion of your property's assessed value. With this exemption, the property's assessed value is reduced by $100,000. Most homeowners will save about $1,399 a year on their Real Estate Tax bill starting in 2025.
Basic Homestead Exemption: This is available to all homeowners who occupy their property as a primary residence. It offers a $2,000 reduction in the assessed value of your home. Senior Citizens Exemption: Homeowners aged 65 and older may qualify for additional reductions based on income.
Homestead Exemption Statutes Vary By State Some states, such as Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Texas have provisions, if followed properly, allowing 100% of the equity to be protected. Other states, such as New Jersey and Pennsylvania do not offer any homestead protection.
Most homeowners in Utah receive a 45% exemption from property taxes on their homes (or “primary residence”). If you occupy your home for at least 183 consecutive days in the year, you likely qualify for this exemption.
State, federal and territorial homestead exemption statutes vary. Some states, such as Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Texas have provisions, if followed properly, allowing 100% of the equity to be protected. Other states, such as New Jersey and Pennsylvania do not offer any homestead protection.
The average yearly temperature in Georgia is around 63ºF. The weather stays consistently warm, even through the winter, when the average temperature is still in the 50s. That means less of a chance of snow or early frost to ruin your crops, and more of a chance of abundant growth.
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.
Homestead laws allow homeowners (and other property owners) to declare a portion of their real property as a "homestead" that cannot be taken by creditors. These laws are intended to prevent homelessness that may result from tough economic conditions, such as a foreclosure.
Age 65 + Exemption from State Ad Valorem Tax If you qualify for one of the other homestead exemptions listed and are age 65 or older as of January 1, you also qualify for an exemption from the State portion of ad valorem taxes in an amount equal to 100% of the value of your home and up to 10 acres of land.
