Ad valorem tax; procedures for transmission of relevant information following a real estate closing to allow for the automatic granting of homestead exemptions; provide

Summary

The bill changes Georgia law so that the attorney who closes a home purchase must send the tax office the information needed to grant a homestead exemption without the new owner filing a separate application. It also makes the exemption renewable each year as long as the owner continues to live in the home and bans paid services that file the exemption for others. The change aims to simplify the process and prevent fee‑shifting scams.
