AI Summary
- City of Eatonton residents aged 70 or older would receive a homestead exemption from municipal ad valorem taxes equal to the amount by which the current year assessed value of their homestead exceeds the base year assessed value, effectively freezing their taxable home value
- The exemption applies to homestead properties of no more than five contiguous acres and does not cover improvements or additional land added after January 1 of the base year
- The exemption does not affect state, county, or school district ad valorem taxes and is in addition to any other existing municipal homestead exemptions
- Once approved, the exemption automatically renews each year as long as the owner continues to occupy the homestead, with no need to reapply after the initial application
- The Act required approval by City of Eatonton voters in a referendum held during the November 2014 general election, with an effective date of January 1, 2015, if approved by a majority
