The three measures on Georgia's ballot and what they mean

Georgia Amendment 1: Statewide exemption to local homestead tax

Georgia Amendment 1 would implement a statewide exemption to the local homestead tax that uniformly applies to all counties, local school systems, consolidated governments and municipalities unless they opt-out.



Georgia Amendment 2: Tax court in the judicial system

Georgia Amendment 2 would create a tax court with statewide jurisdiction that would be concurrent with superior courts. Right now, the tax tribunal that hears tax cases is in Georgia’s executive branch, so Amendment 2 would establish a court in the judicial system.




Georgia Referendum A: Tax exemption for tangible personal property

Finally, Georgia Referendum A would increase a property tax exemption for tangible personal property worth $7,500 or less to properties worth $20,000 or less.
