HB581 Homestead Exemption Public Hearing #3

The Augusta Commission voted to hold public hearings on House Bill 581, as required by state law if the city intends to opt out. HB581 proposes a homestead exemption that limits annual property tax increases based on inflation rather than local revaluations. While most local jurisdictions, including school districts, plan to opt out, Augusta officials emphasized that no final decision have been made.
