What is House Bill 581?
House Bill 581 provides for a statewide floating homestead exemption that applies to counties, cities and school districts. The bill would cap the assessed value of your home at the inflation rate of the previous year.
For example, if the inflation rate was 2 percent, the assessed value of your home could not increase by more than that amount. Jurisdictions such as Lilburn are allowed to opt out of the homestead exemption.
The Mayor and City Council intend to opt out of the statewide adjusted base year ad valorem homestead exemption for the city of Lilburn. Please note that state law requires cities and jurisdictions to use “language of intent” as part of their required legal postings. No decision has been made on this matter.
