Chattooga County Commissioner Blake Elsberry is advocating for legislation that would implement a “Homestead Valuation Freeze Exemption” for Chattooga County property owners who qualify for homestead exemption. Although the State of Georgia offers the homestead exemption to all qualified homeowners in the state, some counties have chosen to extend their homestead exemptions or freeze valuation of properties by local legislation. In order for Chattooga County to implement the “Homestead Valuation Freeze Exemption” special, local legislation would have to be introduced by State Rep. Eddie Lumsden and State Senator Colton Moore. You can read the commissioner’s statement below:
