Are Property Taxes Deductible in Georgia?
Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Georgia adds its own break: $2,000 standard homestead exemption off assessed value, plus a statewide floating exemption limiting taxable value growth to inflation.
HB 581's floating homestead exemption began in 2025 unless your county, city, or school district opted out by March 1, 2025.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
