House Bill 270 Senior Homestead Exemption 65 Older & No Income Requirement to Qualify
Councilman Roderick Gay sponsored an initiative, approved by a 3-2 vote, granting all seniors aged 65 or older and individuals with disabilities who own their homes an exemption from the City of College Park property tax.
This legislation ends a decade long practice of auctioning homes with delinquent property taxes, preventing seniors from losing their homes. While an income requirement currently applies, the 2025 General Assembly will consider a proposal to remove it.
Qualifying residents will receive a credit for the City’s portion of their 2025 property tax bill, easing financial burdens and protecting access to essential utilities like water, gas, and electricity.
Applications for the Senior/Disabled Property Tax Homestead Exemption will be accepted from March 1 to April 30, 2025. These efforts, alongside initiatives like a moratorium on property tax auctions and utility credit programs, reflect the city’s commitment to supporting its senior and disabled residents with dignity and stability.
Applications is available through Phil Latona at 404-669-3765 or via email at platona@collegeparkga.com
