This bill would let Adairsville homeowners pay less in property taxes by using money from a new sales tax.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill tried to pass but did not get enough votes in the House. It was given another chance but still failed. This means it is not moving forward right now, but it could come up again. If it passed, homeowners would save money, but everyone in Bartow County would pay a new sales tax when they buy things. It's important to know about bills like this because they change how people pay taxes.
