Apply for a homestead exemption today – tax time is right around the corner! The City of Decatur offers several homestead exemptions to resident homeowners that may reduce the taxable value of your home by 10-, 25-, or even $50,000. These include general exemptions based on ownership and occupancy as well as exemptions based on age, income and disability. A complete list of exemptions and qualifications is shown here: decaturga.com/homestead It’s worth a look!
Apply online at decaturga.com/homestead or in person by March 15 (that’s this Friday!) to ensure your exemption appears on your first installment tax bill for this year. Applications are accepted year-round, but in order to grant an exemption for the current tax year, we must receive your application no later than April 1. Applications received after April 1 will be processed for the following tax year.

How does one verify that the application has been approved and the exemption has been applied? I received an email stating that my application was received, but no notice of actual approval.
