Bartow County: Disabled Veteran Homestead Exemption

The exemption is the State's, under Code section 48-5-48; see the Georgia entry. Bartow County's Tax Assessor: "Disabled Veterans (100% VA-rated or equivalent): Exemption up to $121,812 (state-mandated), covering all property taxes. This includes un-remarried surviving spouses and minor children who continue to occupy the home as their primary residence. For details on eligibility and to apply, contact the Tax Office." The surviving spouse of a service member killed in service has the same amount for county, municipal and school taxes under section 48-5-52.1. The Tax Commissioner's homestead page: "DISABLED VETERANS that are 100% service connected may apply", with a filing deadline of April 1. Where the pages are behind the law. Amount: $121,812 was the 2025 figure; for 2026 it is $126,526. Deadline: Senate Bill 566 (2026) lets an application filed within the 45-day appeal window after the assessment notice count for that year, so a veteran who missed April 1 can still file. Rating: unemployability paid at the 100% rate and the statutory awards for loss of limbs or sight also qualify; see the Georgia entry. Where.
