Fulton County homeowners have until April 1 to apply for a homestead exemption and receive a discount on their city, county and school property taxes. To qualify for a 2022 homestead exemption, the homeowner must have been listed on the deed and have lived in the home as of January 1 of this year.

Homeowners who purchased a new home last year or were 65 years old as of January 1 are especially urged to complete their homestead exemption applications.  All Fulton County property owners who were age 65 and over as of January 1 can benefit from a senior exemption regardless of income.  Several other senior homestead exemptions are offered for seniors who meet certain income requirements.  

Homeowners who with a current homestead exemption in place do not need to reapply for a basic homestead exemption. However, changes in property deeds that may occur in the event of divorce, inheritance or refinancing can have an impact on homestead exemptions. It is advisable for all homeowners to verify that their homestead exemptions are in place before the April 1 deadline.

Homeowners who qualify for the first time for special age and/or income-based exemptions, such as those offered for seniors, do need to complete an application. 

To apply for a homestead exemption and to learn more about the process, homeowners may visit any office of the Fulton County Board of Assessors or apply online at www.fultonassessor.org. For more information call 404-612-6440 X 4.
