Homestead Exemption is one way to reduce the amount of property tax you pay on your residential property. In Forsyth County, if you own the property, reside on that property and are a legal resident of the county, all as of January 1 of the tax year, you may qualify for Homestead Exemption. While you can file for Homestead Exemption year-round, you must file by Monday, April 3, to receive these benefits for 2017. For more information about Homestead Exemption, call the Tax Assessor’s Office at (770) 781-2106 or visit the Homestead Exemption webpage at forsythco.com.
