What tax breaks help senior homeowners who downsize in Marietta?

Marietta seniors qualify for the same $2,000 statewide homestead exemption as any owner-occupant, then Cobb County and the city add their own senior-specific exemptions with separate income and age rules. Those local amounts are not published in a single statewide table and change by jurisdiction, so a downsizing senior should confirm the current figures with the Cobb County tax assessor before listing. Timing the exemption transfer to a smaller home is something a local agent can help plan around.
