Great news for Georgia homebuyers and homeowners! 🍑🏡 Gov. Brian Kemp just signed two major pieces of legislation that will keep more money in your pocket and make homeownership more predictable.
Here is what you need to know about the new laws:
📉 Property Tax Relief (SB 33): No more skyrocketing property tax assessments! The new law caps the increase in your home’s official tax valuation at the rate of inflation. This means you won’t be blindsided by massive property tax hikes just because the housing market is hot.
💵 Income Tax Cuts (HB 463): The state income tax rate has immediately dropped from 5.19% to 4.99%, with plans to lower it even further over the next few years. Plus, standard deductions have been significantly increased!
Why this matters for you: If you’ve been on the fence about buying, this legislation offers much-needed predictability for your future monthly payments and eases the long-term financial strain of owning a home.
