Vote NO DeKalb SPLOST

Are you about to see a big tax hike?

The county is on the precipice of setting in motion a serious of events that could substantially raise your property taxes.

It has come to light that if the county puts a SPLOST referendum on the ballot this November, and it passes, the property assessment freeze will cease to be in effect. We know this now based on a recent review by legislative counsel of HB 596. The legal opinion concluded that:

"...HB 596 serves to suspend the homestead valuation freeze currently in effect in DeKalb County if the new HOST and a Splost are approved in the November election."

That means that 10 years of increases in your property value, which have been shielded from county and city taxes, will instantly become taxable. You will be providing the county and cities with a sales tax and property tax windfall.
