About the Program
Georgia takes up to $121,812 off the taxable value of your home for 2025, and anything above that is still taxed. The amount is tied to a federal index and changes yearly. You have to own the home, live in it, and be honorably discharged. You qualify with a 100% VA rating, a lower rating that’s paid at the 100% rate because you can’t work, a VA award for loss or loss of use of a hand or foot, loss of sight in one or both eyes, or a permanent impairment of both eyes that meets the state’s standards. An unmarried surviving spouse can keep the exemption while living in the home, and the veteran’s minor children are also covered.
