Senior Homestead Exemptions for 2026

The Fulton County Board of Assessors is accepting applications for new senior homestead exemptions for the Fulton County School District, tax year 2026.

Eligible Johns Creek homeowners that are 65 and over may qualify for significant reductions in school property taxes. Seniors must apply for these exemptions by April 1, even if they already have other exemptions.

City Project Progress: Abbotts Bridge Road improvements

In a recent email, the city shared updates on the road improvement project on Abbotts Bridge Road (from Parsons Road to Medlock Bridge Road).

The project includes the addition of turn lanes, medians, sidewalks and bike lanes. The additional turn lanes will “provide a safe ingress/egress from neighborhoods and aid in traffic flow for motorists.”

Project location:
