Dual State Residency Requirements in the state of Georgia
I own a home in the state of Florida & Georgia. I file my taxes in the state of Fl. My mom lived in the Ga. Home year round, after my retirement in 2008, I started living in Ga. 8 months of the year. After my mom's death in 2013, the city & county taxes on the home in Ga. Increased due to the homestead exemptions taken a way. I meet the age requirement, own the home since 2000, but does not meet the residency requirement because of my Fl ID. When I tried to file, I was told I had to proved I have been a residence for 5 years. However, the Ga. State Code for filing for this exemption doesn't specify what documents are needed to show residency to file. I was denied an application.
Question- Can I have dual residence in the state of Ga. And Fl. And filed for homestead exemptions with the city & county of Warner Robins, Ga,(Houston County)?
