Did you purchase a new home in 2025? Congratulations! At Sheyla Wright Realtor, we want your homeownership journey to be as affordable as it is exciting. One of the best ways to protect your investment is by filing for your Gwinnett County homestead exemption 2026 before the April 1st deadline. This simple step reduces your taxable home value, keeping more of your hard-earned money in your pocket.

Don’t Miss the April 1st Deadline

To qualify for savings this year, you must have owned and occupied your home as your primary residence as of January 1, 2026. Filing is a one-time process that automatically renews every year. However, if you miss the April 1st cutoff, you will have to wait until next year to see any savings.

The Benefit of the "Tax Freeze"

Gwinnett County offers a "Value Offset Exemption," which effectively "freezes" the assessed value of your home for the county portion of your taxes. Even as property values rise in our beautiful neighborhoods, this provides essential property tax relief in Georgia, ensuring your tax bill remains predictable and manageable for years to come.

Filing is 100% Free

As a bilingual realtor, I want to remind our Hispanic community: Filing this application is FREE. Please ignore any "official" mailers asking for $50 or $100 to file on your behalf. You can complete the process yourself in minutes on the Gwinnett Tax Commissioner’s website without spending a dime.

Your Filing Checklist

Before you log on to apply, make sure you have the following ready:

• Your Georgia Driver’s License (with your new address).

• Your Vehicle Registration.

• Your recorded deed (if you closed very recently).

Whether you are a first-time homebuyer in Gwinnett County, a resident, or a long-time neighbor, Sheyla Wright Realtor is here to ensure you feel confident and supported at every step. If you have questions about your taxes or your home’s value, reach out today—I am always happy to help!
