Question regarding English grammar
"Yeah, let's chill at yours."
("yours" being the house belonging to the person I'm conversing with)
Is that sentence correct? Or is it "Yeah, let's chill at
your's
" because you have to add the apostrophe to indicate ownership - is there an exception in this case?

"Your" and "Yours" are already indicating ownership, so there's no need for an apostrophe.

Yours. The phrase 'yours' is already possessive

I feel like such a dumbass for using "your's" to everybody for years...

Take this as an example.
"Let's chill at your place."
"Can I chill at your place?" "No, fatty, Let's chill at yours."
I don't think I have ever seen someone saying" Your's", it's more of "You're"
