- Homestead exemption
- Georgia's statutory standard homestead exemption is modest — $2,000 off the assessed value (40% of fair market value) for county and school taxes on an owner-occupied primary residence, worth only a small dollar amount of actual tax relief on its own. Far more relief in practice comes from local-option exemptions layered on top by individual counties/cities/school districts via local legislation (amounts and eligibility vary widely — some jurisdictions offer several thousand dollars off assessed value, age-65+/senior floating exemptions, or school-tax freezes), plus statewide age-62/65+ and disabled-veteran/surviving-spouse exemptions with their own income and age tests. Not automatic — homeowners must file an application with their county tax assessor's/tax commissioner's office (deadline is generally the same date property tax returns are due, commonly April 1) and must have owned and occupied the home as their legal residence as of January 1 of the tax year.
First-time buyer / down payment assistance programs
- Georgia Dream Homeownership Program
Georgia's primary state Housing Finance Agency (Georgia Department of Community Affairs, DCA) first-mortgage program for first-time homebuyers (defined as not having owned and occupied a home in the prior 3 years) statewide. Pairs a market-rate 30-year fixed mortgage with a 0%-interest, deferred-repayment down payment/closing cost assistance loan (up to $10,000 or 5% of the purchase price, whichever is less, repaid only at sale/refinance/payoff); an enhanced 'PEN Choice' assistance tier is available for protectors, educators, and nurses. Requires a minimum $1,000 borrower contribution and completion of HUD-approved homebuyer counseling/education.
- Georgia Dream Peach Plus
A DCA Georgia Dream product with expanded eligibility versus the core program: open to both first-time AND repeat buyers, with a higher purchase price limit and higher income limits. Also pairs with down payment/closing cost assistance on the same terms as the core program.
