Voters in Butts County approved two tax referendums: Senate Bill 544, Act 614 and Senate Bill 545, Act 615. SB 544 grants a $70,000 homestead exemption from county ad valorem taxes for residents aged 62 or older who own and occupy the home. SB 545 will reduce the assessed value of a homestead property by $50,000, applying only to county taxes. Both benefits are scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027.
