Franklin County Tax Commissioner (Bobby Martin) and Board of Tax Assessors (Chief Appraiser Craig Goss): the homestead route with the March 1 exemption deadline
The Franklin County Tax Commissioner - Bobby Martin, 1221 Hull Avenue (the Courthouse Annex), Carnesville, GA 30521 (706-384-3455, fax 706-384-2245, [email protected], Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., taxes.franklincountyga.com) - and the Board of Tax Assessors (Chief Appraiser Craig Goss, 1199 Hull Ave., P.O. Box 10, 706-384-4896, fax 706-384-4333, [email protected]) take the exemption applications; the county's own General Information page fixes the deadline: "The deadline for filing an application for a homestead exemption in Franklin County is March 1", prints the tax-bill date "due by November 15", and names the Tax Commissioner "ex-officio sheriff" for tax sales; the county's pages print no veteran exemption amounts of their own, so the amounts rest on the State entries; the qPublic record-search site was not read (the gap goes to docs/COUNTY-REVISIT.md).
