Reminder: homestead exemption deadline nears

The deadline to file for a homestead exemption with the City of Decatur is Monday, March 1. If you applied in a prior year, you do not need to file again. But if you’ve never applied, or if you’ve only applied with DeKalb County, you need to apply with the City. If you miss the Monday deadline, you won’t be able to receive the homestead exemption until 2011.

You can apply for the basic homestead exemption through our online form here.
