Did you know that you can claim a Homestead Exemption as a tax benefit if you bought a home in 2010? Filing for this exemption can greatly impact your tax return, and get you that extra money to start off 2011 on the right foot.
Georgia allows homeowners to claim a Homestead Exemption as a tax benefit that could amount to considerable annual savings. To qualify for the property tax exemption the homeowner must occupy the residence and file for Homestead Exemption at the county Court House or Tax Commissioners Office in person, by mail or on the web, depending on the county in which you reside. Filing deadlines and requirements vary by county.
