Bryan County Tax Assessor: Disabled Veteran Homestead Exemption

The exemption is the State's (O.C.G.A. 48-5-48); the Georgia entry gives the amount, the rating tests (a 100% rating, or pay at 100% for unemployability, or the statutory losses of limbs or sight) and the 2026 filing rules. What the county's page says. "Disabled Veterans: Award letter required. $117,014 exemption off the assessed value (40% of appraised value), applicable to state, county, city, and school board taxes. Unremarried surviving spouses receive the same exemption." It lists the exemption for the unremarried surviving spouse of a service member killed in action at the same figure, and ends: "For further assistance or to obtain an application, please visit the Tax Commissioner's Office." Against the law now. $117,014 was the federal specially adapted housing maximum for fiscal year 2024; the exemption follows that maximum, which is $126,526 for tax year 2026 (the Department of Revenue's memorandum of December 31, 2025). The page does not say who qualifies; bring the VA letter showing the 100% rating, the 100% rate for unemployability or the qualifying loss. Senate Bill 566 of 2026 lets a new homeowner file through the year, up to the last day to appeal the assessment notice (see the Georgia entry). Where. Tax Commissioner, P.O.
