AI Summary

  • Amends the definition of "fair market value of property" in Georgia's ad valorem tax code (O.C.G.A. § 48-5-2) to cap assessed values based on recent sale prices
  • Establishes that the transaction amount of the most recent arm's length, bona fide sale in any year shall be the maximum allowable fair market value for the next taxable year
