  • The Georgia HTRG reduces your home's taxable value by $18,000, which lowers your property tax bill.

    No additional action is required.Non-homesteaded properties are not eligible.

Have a Mortgage Escrow Account?

Plan Ahead

  1. The 2026 HTRG lowers this tax bill, which may cause a future escrow shortage that could increase mortgage payments.
  2. To avoid a possible mortgage payment increase, contact your lender to discuss your options.
