The Homestead Credit is a tax benefit for renters and homeowners with low or moderate incomes. It is designed to lessen the impact of rent and property taxes. Qualifying persons can get back some or all of their state taxes withheld during the year.
Homestead exemptions are deducted from the assessed value of the qualifying property (40% of the fair market value). To receive the benefit of the homestead exemption, you must file an initial application. You can use the same application for all types of exemptions. In Cobb County the Tax Commissionerâs office processes all Homestead Exemption applications.
