Snellville Homestead Exemption for Disabled and/or 65 and Older

If your home is in Snellville and you are age 65 or older, or disabled, are you taking advantage of the Homestead Exemption from Snellville Ad Valorem taxes?

It's amazing what I find just surfing. This is from 1999. It's one of those things that aren't going to be just handed to you or offered to you, you will need to know to ask for it.

Here are some excerpts, and then I will provide the link so you can read it yourself if interested in learning more.
