DeKalb County Tax Commissioner Nicole Golden expands mobile tax office program to more senior centers

DEKALB COUNTY, GA– DeKalb County Tax Commissioner Nicole M. Golden today announced the expansion of the office’s mobile tax program, which now serves five senior centers across DeKalb County. 

Launched as a pilot program at the Lou Walker Senior Center in January 2023, the initiative has grown to improve access to essential motor vehicle and property tax services for residents, particularly seniors who rely on in-person assistance.

“Our mobile tax office program allows us to meet taxpayers where they are and provide essential services in a convenient, community-based setting,” said Golden. “We’re excited to expand our reach to the South DeKalb Senior Center, Lithonia Senior Center, and East Central DeKalb Community & Senior Center this year. Accessibility remains a key priority, especially for seniors who depend on in-person service.”

Mobile tax office services include vehicle registration renewals, issuance and renewal of disabled placards, insurance lapse payments, disabled license plates, senior emissions waivers, homestead exemption applications, and property tax payments. Services are available at the following senior centers:

• South DeKalb Senior Center – launched April 23, 2026; every 2nd and 4th Thursday, 10 a.m. – noon.
• Lithonia Senior Center – launched March 5, 2026; every 1st and 3rd Thursday, 10 a.m. – noon. 
• East Central DeKalb Community & Senior Center – launched March 4, 2026; every 1st and 3rd Wednesday, 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

• Lou Walker Senior Center – launched Jan. 31, 2023; every Tuesday, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.

For motor vehicle service, a valid Georgia driver’s license with a current DeKalb County address is required.

For property tax service, bring proof of age and residency in DeKalb County (valid Georgia ID or driver’s license), copies of current or previous year’s federal and state income tax returns, and any Social Security Form 1099s.
