The Mccaysville Homeowners Bill
McCaysville homeowners could get a property tax break
McCaysville, City of; ad valorem tax; provide homestead exemption
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
This bill would let people in McCaysville pay less property tax on their homes, but a new sales tax would pay for it instead.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would help homeowners in McCaysville by lowering their property taxes. But, to make up for that money, everyone who buys things in Fannin County would pay a new sales tax. This means the cost would shift from property owners to all shoppers. The good news is that people would get to vote on the new sales tax. This bill did not pass the House, but it could come back later, so it is important to know how it would change who pays taxes.
