Gwinnett Homestead Exemption Deadline Nears

April 1 is the application deadline for Gwinnett homestead exemptions.

The best way for homeowners to reduce property taxes is to apply for homestead exemptions. The application deadline for Gwinnett County is April 1.

To obtain exemptions, applicants must own and occupy the property as their primary residence as of Jan. 1 of the tax year for which application is being made. Applications for 2013 exemptions will not be accepted after April 1. 

Apply online at the Gwinnett Tax Commissioner’s website or contact the Property Tax Department for an application. If mailing the completed application, using certified mail is recommended. The signed certified signature card, along with a postmark on or before the deadline, will serve as proof of timely application. Once granted, the homestead exemption is automatically renewed each year.
