Gwinnett Homestead Exemption Deadline Looming

You must own and occupy the property as your primary residence as of January 1.

Gwinnett County reminds homeowners that the deadline for all homestead exemptions for 2015 is April 1 and urges them to apply.

“Now is the time to make sure you are taking advantage of everything that can reduce how much you have to pay,” said Tax Commissioner Richard Steele in a submitted announcement.

You must own and occupy the property as your primary residence as of January 1 of the tax year for which application is being made. No exemptions are granted automatically; however, once an exemption is granted, there is no need to apply each year.
