Georgia Eliminates Homeowners Relief Grant

Walton County homeowners will probably see a higher tax bill this fall due to the state’s elimination of the Homeowners Tax Relief Grant Program (HTRG).

The program, appropriated by the General Assembly and the Governor, has funded an increased homestead exemption for Georgia homeowners that has appeared as a credit on tax bills since it was established in 1999. It is reported the program in 2008, provided a nearly $429 million tax break for homeowners on their property tax bills, resulting in a $200 to $300 savings for the most of them.

More to come. . .
