GA HB1333

Requires Georgia municipalities to calculate and separately itemize their "governmental affairs activities" costs on each ad valorem property tax bill, distributed pro rata based on each parcel's assessed value

Defines governmental affairs activities as efforts to support, oppose, or influence governmental actions or officials at the federal, state, county, municipal, or local level

Costs covered include salaries of employees engaged in lobbying activities, payments to outside contractors, dues to organizations conducting governmental affairs on the municipality's behalf, and related supplies and materials

Makes payment of the governmental affairs portion optional for taxpayers, who may deduct that amount from their total tax bill and pay only the remaining balance

Prohibits municipalities from penalizing taxpayers who choose not to pay the governmental affairs portion of their tax bill
