Homestead Exemptions public meetings slated

Fulton County Commission Chairman Robb Pitts will hold public meetings for information and assistance to homeowners with understanding how a homestead exemption can help save on property taxes, according to a press release. The application deadline to file for a Homestead Exemption is Monday, April 2.

“I strongly encourage all owner occupied homeowners to attend one of our public meetings,” said Pitts. “A Homestead Exemption is a way for them to save on their property taxes.”

Chairman Pitts, along with staff from the Tax Assessors’ Office, will be at the remaining public meetings:

■ 10 a.m. to noon, today at Benson Senior Facility, 6500 Vernon Woods Dr., Sandy Springs

■ 6 to 8 p.m. today at Welcome All Park & Multipurpose Facility, 4255 Will Lee Rd., Atlanta

■ 10 a.m. to noon Friday, March 23, at Helen S. Mills Senior Multipurpose, 515 John Wesley Dobbs Ave, Atlanta

■ 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. during a town hall meeting with State Representative Debra Bazemore (D63) at Tracy Wyatt Recreation Center, 2300 Godby Road, College Park

“I know that homeowners will greatly benefit from attending at least one of our meetings,” stated Chairman Pitts. “Our senior homeowners will greatly benefit from attending because they will learn of the various exemptions available for those age 62, 65 and 70. This is an opportunity that no homeowner should miss.”
