Information from Bob Stanborough regarding Gwinnett County Real
Estate taxes: “I attended the public forum on the proposed
tax increase for Gwinnett on June 2 in the am and ran into one of our fellow
retirees. He was not aware of the tax
exemption offered to those of us over 65.
Bottom line it will exempt the school tax which is the largest part of
the real estate taxes we pay in Gwinnett (and maybe all counties). There are several senior exemptions available
but the most lucrative to us is exemption L5A.
You can check it out on the Gwinnett County site—the bottom line is if
you are 65 or older and line 15 on Georgia Form 500 (GA income tax form) is
$80,742 or less you probably qualify.
The deduction is worthwhile and will result in a healthy reduction in
taxes.”
