Worth County Tax Commissioner (Lakeysia McGill): the county’s own printed disabled-veteran exemption at up to $50,000 and the armed-forces-absence filing line

The county's own amounts. The Tax Commissioner's own Government Window site, worthcountytax.com, prints the exemptions on its General Information page. The veteran paragraph reads: "The Disabled Veterans Homestead Exemption is available to certain disabled veterans in an amount up to $50,000 deducted from the 40% assessed value of the homestead property. This exemption applies to all ad valorem tax levies; however, it is restricted to certain types of very serious disabilities (that are service-connected disabilities) and proof of disability, either from the Veterans Administration or from a private physician in certain circumstances. A similar exemption in the same amount is now available to the un-remarried surviving spouse of a member of the armed forces of the United States who was killed in any war or armed conflict engaged in by the United States. The surviving spouse must furnish appropriate documentation that spousal benefits are received as a result of the death of the armed forces member." The page also prints the armed-forces-absence line: "If the owner is absent from their residence because of duty in the armed forces, a friend or family member may file on behalf of said owner. Said notice shall be filed within 90 days of the notice of value from the Board of Assessors." Where and who. Tax Commissioner Lakeysia McGill, 201 North Main St, Room 15, Sylvester, GA 31791; phone (229) 776-8204, [email protected]; "Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM". The page seats the route: "The application is filed with the Worth County Tax Assessor's Office. First time homeowners need to bring a copy of their warranty deed ... Georgia law allows for the year-round filing of homestead applications but the application must be received by April 1 of the year for which the exemption is first claimed"; the tax calendar: "Property Taxes are due by December 20th of each year"; and the assessors' contact at (229) 776-8203. The qPublic record-search site (qpublic.net/ga/worth) answers a Cloudflare-style block (403) to plain fetch and was not read (the gap goes to docs/COUNTY-REVISIT.md). The route. A veteran files with the Tax Assessor's Office before April 1 and reads the county's own amounts on the tax site; the State entries carry the statutes (O.C.G.A. 48-5-48 and 48-5-52.1) beside the county's printed figures.
