Fulton County Senior Homestead Exemption

You have until April 1 to apply for a senior homestead exemption in Fulton County. This is a new law that gives homeowners that are age 65 and over another $20,000 in exemption regardless of income. To qualify you have to go in person to one of the 5 Fulton County Board of Assessors' offices and fill out a 1 page application. You need to bring with you your driver's license, current registration for all vehicles of owner and spouse, and your last property tax bill. I went last week to the North Fulton Service Center room 210 and it took about an hour.
