Update on the Homestead Exemption Bill
Representative Clark plans to drop the bill (LC 47 3563) this week in the Georgia House of Representatives. The bill proposes an additional homestead exemption from City of Lilburn ad valorem taxes for city purposes in an amount equal to the amount by which the current year assessed value exceeds the prior year assessed value of such homestead by more than 8 percent and which increase the value of the exemption for residents 65 years of age or older from $10,000 to $50,000 of the assessed value of the homestead. The bill must be passed by the House and Senate before the 2025 Georgia legislative session ends on April 3, 2025. If the bill passes both branches and is signed by the Governor, Lilburn voters will choose whether or not to approve the homestead exemptions on the general municipal election to be held on November 11, 2025. If approved, the exemptions will go into effect on January 1, 2026.
