QUALIFICATIONS FOR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS

The deadline to qualify for the current year exemptions is April 1.

To qualify for any exemption, you must own and occupy the property as your primary residence as of January 1, 2010 and be permanent legal resident of Fulton County. Additionally, you are required to present a valid Georgia photo ID and provide a current copy of your Fulton County vehicle registration. All senior and disability exemptions must be applied for in person and the 2009 household income information is required.

BASIC HOMESTEAD


Fulton County Homeowners will receive a $25,000 exemption for tax year 2010 and by 2011 the basic exemption will increase to $30,000.  For those homeowners currently receiving a homestead exemption, no further action is required to get the increased exemption, unless there is an ownership change or if you become eligible for an additional exemption. First time Fulton County homeowners or those applying for an additional exemption, have until April 1 to file.
