The Assessor's Exemptions page on coffeecounty-ga.gov prints the county's rundown, with the deadlines at its head - "Deadline to file Homestead, Personal Property Tax Returns and Cuva, Preferential and FLPA is April 1" and "HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION FILING DATES ARE JANUARY 1st THROUGH APRIL 1st." The veteran rows: "Homestead Exemption for Disabled Veterans - Any qualifying disabled veteran may be granted an exemption of $50,000 from paying property taxes for state, county, municipal, and school purposes.
