DeKalb County homeowners, your property taxes are now capped under House Bill 581, thanks to the property tax cap you approved in November. Now, the county is hosting a live online event this Friday at 44 p.m. to explain how it actually works.
💰 What does this mean for you?: This new tax rule limits how much your home’s taxable value can increase each year. Even if property values in your neighborhood skyrocket, your taxes can’t go up more than the rate of inflation.
📢 Why should you care?
✅ Your tax bill may not rise as fast, but it will still change—know what to expect.
✅ New homebuyers need to know how this affects future tax payments.
✅ If you’re renting, your landlord’s tax situation could still impact your costs.
