By JEFF AMYATLANTA (AP) — It is a goal spreading among anti-tax crusaders — eliminate all property taxes on homeowners.
Ron DeSantis says that is his goal, with lawmakers currently considering phasing out nonschool property taxes on homeowners over 10 years.
He is about to get a big property tax break, because seniors in Gwinnett County are exempt from school property taxes, about two thirds of his bill.
A shift from property to sales taxesBurns wants Georgia to wipe out $5.2 billion in homeowner property taxes — more than a quarter of the $19.9 billion in property taxes collected in 2024, telling cities, counties and school districts to fall back on current or new sales taxes.
While most property taxes go to schools, the majority of sales taxes don’t in some communities.
