AI Summary

  • Eliminates the automatic sunset provision on the City of Dunwoody's existing homestead exemption from municipal ad valorem taxes, which exempts the amount by which the current year assessed value of a homestead exceeds the base year assessed value
  • The original exemption applied only to taxable years 2009 through 2011 and would have expired without renewal by the General Assembly; this bill makes the exemption permanent
  • Requires approval by a majority of City of Dunwoody voters in a referendum held during the November 2010 statewide general election
  • If approved by voters, the exemption becomes effective January 1, 2011, and applies to all taxable years thereafter; if not approved, the Act is automatically repealed
