Property Tax
The Property Tax Division of the Finance Department is responsible for billing and collecting City of East Point property taxes. The division also administers City homestead exemptions and assists with tax account inquiries.
Property taxes are calculated using property values determined by the Fulton County Board of Assessors and the millage rate adopted by the East Point City Council. For questions about property assessments or assessment appeals, contact the Fulton County Board of Assessors at (404) 612-6440 or visit www.fultonassessor.org.
Each tax year covers January 1 through December 31. Property tax statements are generally mailed in the fall, with payment due 60 days from the mailing date. The due date is printed on each statement.
For questions about City property tax bills, payments, or City homestead exemptions, contact Deborah Oke at (404) 549-5222 or email propertytaxes@eastpointcity.org.

Information about the 2026 Homeowner Tax Relief Grant (HTRG)
The State of Georgia has approved a one-time Homeowner Tax Relief Grant (HTRG) for eligible homeowners with an approved homestead exemption for the 2026 tax year. The grant provides tax savings equivalent to a reduction of up to $18,000 in assessed taxable value, after other applicable homestead exemptions are applied. Eligible homeowners will automatically receive the credit on their 2026 property tax bill.
What you need to know:
- No separate HTRG application is required. Eligibility is based on your approved homestead exemption for 2026.
- $18,000 is a reduction in assessed taxable value—not the dollar amount of your savings. Actual savings depend on the applicable millage rate and your remaining taxable value.
- The grant provides additional relief after other homestead exemptions are applied. If those exemptions already reduce your eligible property taxes to zero, there is no additional HTRG benefit.
- The credit appears on your property tax bill. Homeowners will not receive a separate check or direct deposit.
- The grant does not apply to rental, commercial, or personal property.
- East Point bills City property taxes separately from Fulton County. Any eligible City HTRG credit will appear on your 2026 City of East Point property tax bill.
