Don't Forget to File Your Homestead Exemption! If you purchased real estate property in 2019 and occupied it as your primary residence on January 1, 2020, you are potentially eligible to file for a homestead exemption. What is it? ... A homestead exemption is a discount on your real estate property tax bill for an owner-occupied principal place of residence. Am I Eligible? If the property is your principal place of residence as of January 1, 2020, and you purchased last year (or any year prior), you are likely eligible to file for a homestead exemption with your county’s tax assessor’s office. How much will it save me? Savings vary depending upon where the property is located, but if you are eligible, you don’t want to miss the deadline for filing! The deadline for filing is April 1st of this year for all counties in Georgia. The best information regarding filing instructions will come from your county tax assessor’s office. If you are in a city, you may have to also file with the city (i.e. Milton, Roswell and Alpharetta). Below are the websites for the majority of tax assessors in the metro area http://fultonassessor.org//2018-Guide-To-Homestead-Exempti https://taxcommissioner.dekalbcountyga.gov//TChomesteadOnl https://www.cobbtax.org/property/exemptioninformation https://gwinnetttaxcommissioner.publicaccessnow.com/Homeste https://www.cherokeega.com/tax-assess/homestead-exemptions/ https://www.forsythco.com//Board-of-As/Homestead-Exemption https://www.paulding.gov/89/Homestead-Exemptions If your tax assessor’s website is not shown in the list above, a google search for your county’s tax assessor should quickly locate the necessary information for filing directions. Congratulations again on your purchase and please let me know if you have any questions about homestead exemption filings.

6 Essential Fall Maintenance Tasks With autumn just around the corner, now is the perfect time for homeowners to get their property in shape and help avoid problems in the months ahead. Here are six key jobs to tackle before cold weather sets in. 1. Caulk around exterior door and window frames for a tight seal. Look for gaps where pipes or wiring enter the home and caulk those as well. Not only does heat escape from these openings, but water can enter and damage underlying ma...terials, and even cause structural damage. 2. Check the roof for missing or damaged shingles. Water, wind, ice and snow can cause serious damage to a vulnerable roof, leading to a greater chance of further damage inside the home. Always have a qualified professional inspect and repair the roof, but binoculars can be used to do a preliminary survey from the ground. 3. Clear gutters of leaves, sticks, and other debris. If the home gets heavy leaf fall, this may need to be done more than once during the season. If the gutters can accommodate them, leaf guards can be real time-savers and prevent clogging. Check the joints between sections of the gutter, as well as between the gutter and downspouts, and make any necessary adjustments or repairs. Make sure downspouts direct water away from the house. 4. In cold-weather climates, garden hoses should be drained and stored indoors to protect them from the harsh winter elements. Shut off outdoor faucets and make sure exterior pipes are drained of water. Faucets and pipes can easily freeze and burst, causing leaks and increasing the potential for serious water damage. 5. Have the furnace inspected to ensure that it’s safe and in good working order. Most utility companies will provide basic, no-cost furnace inspections to their customers, but schedule early as there can often be a long waiting list as the weather cools down. Replace disposable furnace air filters or clean the permanent type according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Using a clean filter not only helps with interior air quality, it will help the furnace run more efficiently, saving money and energy. 6. A wood-burning fireplace can be a real pleasure on a chilly fall evening. For safety, have the firebox and chimney professionally cleaned before use this season. Creosote, a byproduct of wood burning, can build up to dangerous levels and cause a chimney fire that can spread to the rest of the house. With these easy steps, your clients will enjoy the comforts of home all season long and know that they’re protecting their investment, too.
