************Did You Buy a Home in 2023?*******************

Be sure to file for Homestead Exemption Before April 1st
You only need to do this one time!

In Dekalb County Basic homestead applications may be processed by mail, in person, or online atwww.dekalbcountyga.gov/taxcommissioner

https://www.dekalbcountyga.gov/sites/default/files/user2843/homestead%20information%20sheet%202018%20%282%29.pdf

If you are in Fulton County, they have a guide: https://fultonassessor.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2023/03/Homestead-Exemption-Guide-Updated-3.14.23.pdf

What are Property Tax Homestead Exemptions
Generally, a homeowner is entitled to a homestead exemption on their home and land underneath provided the home was owned by the homeowner and was their legal residence as of January 1 of the taxable year. (O.C.G.A. § 48-5-40)

To be granted a homestead exemption:

A person must actually occupy the home, and the home is considered their legal residence for all purposes.
Persons who are away from their home because of health reasons will not be denied homestead exemption. A family member or friend can notify the tax receiver or tax commissioner and the homestead exemption will be granted. (O.C.G.A. § 48-5-40)

When and Where to File Your Homestead Exemption
Property Tax Returns are Required to be Filed by April 1 - Homestead applications that are filed after April 1 will not be granted until the next calendar year. (O.C.G.A. § 48-5-45)

Failure to apply by the deadline will result in loss of the exemption for that year. (O.C.G.A. § 48-5-45)

Homestead Applications are Filed with Your County Tax Officials - Application for homestead exemption must be filed with the
tax commissioner's office, or in some counties the tax assessor's office has been delegated to receive applications for homestead exemption.

To Receive Homestead for the Current Tax Year - A homeowner can file an application for homestead exemption for their home and land any time during the prior year up to the deadline for filing returns. To receive the homestead exemption for the current tax year, the homeowner must have owned the property on January 1 and filed the homestead application by the same date property tax returns are due in the county.

7🚨😂 Public service announcement
If you are new to Georgia, we are about to experience a “ Georgia Winter”. This is 6 or 7 days of cold, maybe some ice ❄️☃️and snow🌨. Meteorologists will threaten snow, And It may snow and it may not, but if they say 2 inches it could be 10 or it could be 1/2”. It doesn’t matter how much ❄️ Snow it is, we’ll all freak out 🤦‍♀️ because we don’t see snow often.
The threat of snow (or ice) is your prompt to head to the grocery store and buy milk 🥛, eggs 🥚and bread 🍞. It doesn’t matter if you need these items or not you will just buy them 🤷‍♀️ (milk sandwiches🥪 anyone 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤣). It’s just what we do. Rest assured that everyone in town will be there.
You’ll also need to make a mad dash for faucet covers and finding them and getting out of the store will be like an episode of the hunger games 😂 You’re in the redneck district. 🤷‍♀️😂🤣🤪
Don’t look for a sled. You won’t find one. In the rare chance we get enough ice or snow to sled grab some cardboard 📦 or a trash 🗑 can lid and go find the nearest hill.
Just go with it.
You’ll be fine. 😳
We don’t have equipment to handle the winter and weather. The roads will be a mess and even though the state has been telling you for a week they’re ready, they’re not and it won’t work. Just stay home if you can and if you can’t just come to terms with the fact that nobody here knows how to drive in snow and ice.
Whatever you do, DO NOT⚠️🚫 talk about snow tires.
If you happen to slide off the road or get stuck, turn your flashers on, take a deep breath, and wait. Two Dudes 🧔‍♂️👨‍🦰 in a four wheel drive truck will be along in no time to offer assistance. Don’t try to help them, they live for this stuff 😂🤪, and will do what they can to get you back on the road. If either one of them screams “Hey y’all watch this, hold my beer” just get back and get your phone out and start recording, you’ll probably have a viral video for TicTok later 🤷‍♀️😂
No matter what you do, don’t talk about how they did it back home in any of these scenarios.
Nobody cares.
You live in Georgia now.
Georgians know they live in the greatest state in the country and it’s our way or the highway.
When we act like we’re going to die and start to complain about the 7 days of winter just shut up, we’re serious and we don’t care how much you love it.
You’ll be back in flip flops 🩴 within a week to ten days and it’ll be nice until right around Easter 🐰.
Georgia’s “second winter” will be 2 or 3 days and will hit right around Easter🐰, usually the week before or the week after. This will hit right around the time you plant flowers and a garden🍅🌽🫑🥒🫛 **Resist this temptation. You've been warned.
We know you’re not from around here when we see you’ve planted flowers before Easter and before the “second winter” has hit.
This is why all the people at the nursery don’t sound like us when you’re shopping for plants.
We know better.
During the second winter it’ll go from 70 to 25 and you’ll experience all four seasons in one day.
This too shall pass, get used to it and when the second winter is over you can enjoy the 3-4 Days🤪 of “spring”🌈☔️⚘️🪻 before summer gets here and it’ll melt your face off 🥵hot until sometime around Halloween 👻🎃.
All 💯 Facts.
Enjoy 😉 🤷‍♀️😂
