Eligible Georgia homeowners get an $18,000 cut in assessed value
Georgia ACT notes the relief appears on property tax bills, not as a check, and homestead exemption holders need not apply.
Georgia Advancing Communities Together shared that Governor Brian Kemp and the Georgia Department of Revenue announced the state will distribute funds to local governments for homeowner property tax relief.
Eligible homeowners will receive an $18,000 reduction in their home's assessed value for the 2026 tax year. Homeowners with a qualifying homestead exemption do not need to apply separately, and the relief shows up on tax bills rather than as a check or direct deposit.
The group encourages homeowners to review their bills and contact their local tax commissioner's office with questions.
