Tax allocation district

On July 15, residents of Gwinnett County decided on a ballot measure on giving the county power to create tax allocation districts. A nearly identical measure was rejected in 2007. Tax allocation districts work by freezing the amount of property tax revenues collected by governments and directing revenues generated by rising property values into a fund used to pay for redevelopment projects.[1]

Macon-Bibb County annexation

The Macon-Bibb County Board of Elections voted in April to put, on the July 15 primary ballot, a plan to annex 17.5 square miles of land upon which resides 11,730 people.[2]

Effingham County Carter-Burns Act

Provides for a homestead exemption from Effingham County ad valorem taxes for county purposes in an amount equal to the amount by which the current year assessed value of a homestead exceeds the adjusted base year assessed value of such homestead. [3]
