The Homestead Exemption application form is available
here.
Dear Milton Residents,
Several types of homestead exemptions have been enacted to reduce the burden of ad valorem taxation. To qualify, property owners must own and occupy their home as primary residence as of January 1, 2007.
Property owners already receiving the Basic Homestead Exemption from Fulton County need not reapply for the city’s exemption unless there is a change in ownership or the owner is applying for a different exemption. Applications for the Basic Homestead Exemption are to be filled out through the Fulton County Tax Assessors Office, and property owners must adhere to the deadlines established by Fulton County.
In order to be eligible for 2007 City of Milton Senior Homestead Exemption, property owners must
file with the City of Milton between January 1, 2007 and May 31, 2007. Applications received after May 31st will become eligible for the following year.
The following exemptions are offered by the City of Milton:
Basic Homestead Exemption of $15,000 off the assessed value of your tax bill filed for through Fulton County.
Senior Basic Exemption of $15,000 is available to residents’ age 65 or older on or before January 1st of the year in which the application for exemption is submitted.
Additional Senior Homestead of $10,000 is available to homeowners who meet certain income requirements and are 65 or older on or before January 1st of the year in which the application for exemption is submitted.
Full Value Exemption is available to residents 70 or older on or before January 1st of the year in which the application for exemption is submitted. Certain income qualifications apply.

For additional information on eligibility of proper method of applying, contact the City of Milton at 678.242.2500.
