Filing for Homestead in metro Atlanta
Did you buy a home in the Atlanta area in 2011?
If you purchased your home last year and have not already done so, remember to file for a Homestead Exemption. This can save you thousands of dollars in property taxes!
While some states provide this exemption automatically, in Georgia a homestead exemption must be applied for. Depending on the county, this can be done online, by fax, by mail or in person. You only have to apply for the exemption once. The exemption remains as long as you reside in the home as your primary residence.
Click here for Homestead Exemption application deadline dates listed by county along with a link for a Homestead Exemption application. It is important to file your application on time as applications received after the deadline will be processed the following year.

A Home in Brookhaven in Record Time
Rahul completed his medical fellowship and was ready to start his new life in Atlanta with his wife. Rahul and Amber wanted a home with a fabulous kitchen, finished basement and plenty of room for them to grow. We looked in Buckhead, Sandy Springs and Brookhaven. We found the perfect home in Brookhaven and closed in record time!
Amber had this to say about working with Becky, “I could go on all day about how wonderful Becky is… She not only helped us find our dream home, but she has helped us by recommending service providers for our house. This little extra step by Becky has made all the difference because being new to the area we had no idea what companies to use. We not only have a great realtor but a friend as well now!”
