Oglethorpe County Tax Commissioner (Dawn Johnson Scarborough): the homestead route with the assessors’ exemption-questions line

The exemptions are Georgia's: O.C.G.A. 48-5-48 for the qualifying disabled veteran and 48-5-52.1 for the unremarried surviving spouse of a service member killed in a war or armed conflict - the State entries carry the statutes, the qualification list and the yearly indexed amount. What Oglethorpe's offices add is the route. Where and who. Tax Commissioner Dawn Johnson Scarborough, 339 West Main St., Lexington, GA 30648, mailing P.O.

The commissioner's own Government Window site, oglethorpecountypay.com, prints the tax calendar: "Property tax bills and normally mailed out by October 20 of each year. Taxes are to be paid by December 20 of the same year", the return window ("all property held and subject to taxation on January 1 of the tax year, shall be returned by the owner to the Tax Assessor's Office between January 1 and April 1 of that tax year"), and the exemption line: "Contact the Tax Assessor's office at 706 743 5166 for Exemption questions and Appeals process."

A veteran files with the Tax Assessor's Office before the April 1 deadline and reads the amounts on the State entries.
