Senior homeowners in Chamblee have until the end of the month to apply for a Senior Homeowner Tax Exemption. Those who qualify are exempt from city taxes. All parties listed as owners on the property deed must be 65 years or older before Jan. 1, 2016, hold a current homestead exemption designating the property as primary residence, and supply proof of age, such as a driver’s license or other government issued identification.
Applicants must apply in person from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Chamblee City Hall, 5468 Peachtree Road.
The application will be processed and notification of the exemption will be sent to DeKalb County for the 2016 tax year. The exemption will be applied to the 2016 Property Tax Statement. City taxes will be removed, however, storm-water and sanitation fees will remain. Once this exemption has been granted there will be no need to reapply.
Additional exemptions from DeKalb County must be filed with the county separately.
