Applications can be turned in any time, but must arrive before April 1 to count for that tax year. Later applications take effect the next year.

Apply at the Tax Assessor's office with a Georgia-issued photo ID; you must own and live in the home on January 1. Local codes include S3 (65+ with household income under $40,000) and S4-7 (age 70), but official pages do not list their dollar amounts. Re-apply if you move.
