Homestead Exemptions from the Chattooga County Board of Assessors

Chattooga County property owners:

The 2025 assessment notices were mailed on June 30, 2025, with an appeal deadline of August 14, 2025. The Assessor’s Office would like to encourage all homeowners to apply for the homestead exemption during the 45-day appeal period.

HB 92 revised multiple provisions from HB581 (2024) that created the statewide floating homestead exemption.

Taxpayers are now able to apply for the homestead exemption beyond the historic deadline of April 1st; they may apply up to the end of their 45-day window to appeal their notice of assessment.

Revisions to HB 581 (2024):

The State / Local homestead is applicable to only the house and up to five acres unless enrolled in the Conservation Use (CUVA) or Forest Land Protection Act (FLPA) in which the exemption is limited to two acres.

This legislation became effective April 1 of 2025 and is applicable to taxable years beginning on or after 2025.
