Homestead exemption applications due April 1

In early January, the DeKalb County Tax Commissioner’s Office mailed homeowners information regarding senior homestead exemptions for the 2024 tax year. Changes to income limits that were passed in the legislature last year now allow more seniors to meet eligibility requirements for special exemptions. This was made possible by the collaborative efforts of the Tax Commissioner's Office, the Board of Commissioners, the DeKalb Delegation of Legislators, and DeKalb voters.

Seniors ages 62 and older are encouraged to check their exemption status and apply online at DeKalbTax.org or call 404-298-4000 for assistance. If your exemption code is an H4, H9 or A6, no further action is required. Appointments for in-person service at the central property tax office can also be made online or by phone.
