Hall Co. taxpayers facing an annual deadline in just three months

The deadline for Hall County taxpayers to file for 2025 Homestead Exemptions, including the Total School Tax Exemption and 100% Disabled Veteran Homestead Exemption, is April 1. This window also applies to returning Business Personal Property, Marine/Personal Watercraft and Aircraft forms, and filing for or renewing Agriculture Covenants and Taxpayer Returns of Real Property.

Citizens can file these forms 24/7 online, submit them by mail, or in person in the Tax Assessors’ Office at the Hall County Government Center.

Please note that any citizen already receiving a homestead exemption does not need to re-apply; however, to receive a new exemption for the 2025 tax year, it must be filed by the April 1 deadline.
