Board explaining why the Tax Commissioner?s Office did not accept the

application for homestead exemption for 2008 for Parcel ID 092 008 031. She

said Mrs. Ewing?s husband is military and his home of record is not Georgia and

Mrs. Ewing had no interest in the property until January 10, 2008.



Met with Mrs. Ewing regarding homestead exemption for property located at 1624

Bunker Hill Rd (Parcel ID 092 008 031). Mrs. Ewing was concerned that she was
