Property taxes were a hot button issue around Baldwin County in 2022 and should continue to be so in 2023.
In the meantime, Gov. Brian Kemp earlier this week recommended a new round of property tax relief for Georgia homeowners in his annual State of the State speech.
Essentially, all homeowners in Georgia will see their property taxes lowered by $500 this fall, if all goes accordingly, and Kemp's Homeowner Tax Relief Grant is part of the final budget, which certainly is expected.
In practical terms, any local homeowner whose property has a "total value" of $100,000, according to the Tax Assessor's Office, will see their property tax bill reduced from roughly $900 to roughly $400 this fall.
The grant technically is a "20,000 credit" to the assessed value of all "homesteads," which comes out to $500. Property owners, regardless of how large or how small, are only allowed to claim one "homestead."
Everything sounded so lovely until the end.
“We tried”
If that’s not disheartening idk what is. I feel the need to quote my mom here. “I can’t have nothin nice”. Wiser words were never said.
Oh! And for gods sake STAY HYDRATED if you want to save on hospital bills. I hate summer.
Member when the river was fun and didn’t get angry and take lives? You could float down hopefully by sunset with only burnt skin that was a problem for later you? Member when your biggest fear were all the scary gar lingering about?

loving that suit! That hippie has style and wears it well.
I member hearing about this. So incredibly sad. The lady I spoke with couldn’t have spoken higher of the man he was.
"unless someone wishes to make some sort of far-flung statement about their dissatisfaction with both major political parties" omg! YES PLEASE! There's no choices, and they will never allow an independent a fighting chance. Other countries have multiple candidates to choose from.
Any reason why the sheriff rarely makes a statements its alway another Deputy isn’t the sheriff, the elected official in our county?
