Board says state rule prevents late homestead-exemption exception
Summary
A Hall County property owner requested a late homestead-exemption exception, saying he missed the April deadline; the board declined, citing state-mandated deadlines, and no exception was granted.
A taxpayer requested an exception to the state-mandated April deadline for filing homestead exemptions, telling the board he believed he could apply during the 45-day appeal period. Interim Chief Appraiser John Smith relayed the request and the board discussed the legal limits on extending the deadline.
Chairman Jennifer Pettitt and the other board members said they sympathized with the taxpayer but must follow state deadlines; the minutes record that no exception was granted. The request was discussed after the public-comment period and recorded in the meeting minutes without a formal motion to grant relief.
