Making Georgia Affordable through Property Tax Reform

“Georgians deserve a government that works as hard and spends as wisely as they do. We’re going to stop runaway taxes, protect local schools and law enforcement, and make Georgia affordable for our families and generations to come.”

Hardworking Georgians are struggling to make ends meet. Under President Joe Biden’s failed leadership, families have endured the highest inflation in 40 years while battling soaring property taxes.

Property taxes remain one of the top concerns for Georgia families — and for good reason. They’re the largest single tax paid annually by most Georgians and they’re based on unrealized gains. Homeowners are being taxed on paper value, not real income. That makes no sense for working families who are already stretched thin and is devastating for retired Georgians on fixed income.

That’s why conservative businessman and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger will lead the charge to make Georgia more affordable by capping property tax increases for all Georgians and eliminating non-education and public safety related property taxes for seniors.

Raffensperger’s property tax reform plan will bring one uniform standard across all 159 counties—one cap, one senior-protection rule, one predictable system.
