House Bill 581, passed in the 2024 legislative session, may bring significant updates to Georgia’s property and local sales tax systems—pending voter approval this November. Key changes include a statewide floating homestead exemption, modifications to the reassessment notice process, and a new local sales tax for property tax relief.
GMA and ACCG are offering a series of in-person joint training sessions in October to help you understand and navigate the potential changes that House Bill 581 will bring.
