(Lawrenceville, Ga. March 19, 2018) – Tax Commissioner Richard Steele wants to remind homeowners that the deadline to apply for a homestead exemption 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 Steele. 

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

Visit www.GwinnettTaxCommissioner.com to apply online and upload supporting documentation, check your application status or view exemption requirements.
