If you previously applied for a homestead exemption, you do not need to re-apply. If you filed for an exemption with DeKalb County, you must also apply with Decatur. You must also apply if you qualify for a new exemption based on age or income.
If you reside at the property you own, you may apply for the general homestead exemption online. Applicants for all other exemptions must apply in person at Decatur City Hall.
