2008 Homestead Exemptions
Reminder: Applications for homestead exemptions must be received by March 1. You may apply in several ways: online, by telephone, by mail, or in person.
Regular homestead exemptions are automatically renewed each year unless there
is a change in ownership or a name or spelling correction on the deed; the
taxpayer seeks to qualify for a different type of exemption; or if the eligibility
requirements can no longer be met by the homeowner. Only one person needs to
apply if more than one name appears on the deed.
In addition to the regular homestead exemption, several special homestead
exemptions exist for eligible seniors and certain disabled persons including
veterans.
State vehicle registration computer shutdown
The North Gwinnett Branch Tag Office, at 2735 Mall of Georgia Boulevard, Buford, will be closed on Saturday, February 16, while the Georgia Department of Revenue conducts computer system maintenance.
The maintenance period will take place from Friday, February 15 beginning at 7:00pm through Monday, February 18 at 6:00am. During this period, Internet and telephone tag renewals will not be available.
2008 Mobile Home Taxes
Reminder: Mobile home tax bills were mailed on January 15. Payment deadline is May 1.
Senior citizen emissions exemptions
If you are 65 or older and are a registered owner of a vehicle 10 model-years old or older, and if you drive less than 5,000 miles per year, you may be eligible for a senior exemption.
Seniors can apply for this waiver by completing a Senior Exemption Application
form, available at all Gwinnett County Tax Commissioner tag offices and on
the Tax Commissioner’s website, as well as the Georgia Clean Air Force website
at cleanairforce.comcleanairforce.com, or by calling the Tax Commissioner’s Motor Vehicles customer
service line.
Anyone eligible for the senior exemption must reapply each year.
