File for Homestead Exemption

Homestead Exemption is a savings allowed for property owners who own and live at their primary residence.

Individuals applying for the first time must own and occupy the home as their primary residence as of January 1, have all vehicles registered in DeKalb County, and not have a homestead exemption anywhere else. Homeowners do not need to apply more than once for a basic exemption.

For all exemptions, eligibility and document requirements, download the Homestead Exemption Information sheet or select Exemptions under Property Tax from the Services menu.
