4/28/2009The Georgia House of Representives Pass HB 233, an Immediate Freeze on Property Tax Assessment Increases
Atlanta 2/12/2009 - The House, today, passed HB 233, a bill to place a moratorium on assessment increases effective as soon as it is passed by the Senate and signed by the Govenor -- we don't have to wait on the November 2010 election.
HB 233 is better for the taxpayer than HR 1 because assessors cannot run up assessments before the 2010 vote.
"I enthusiastically supported and voted for HB 233 and am pleased that when signed into law the bill will protect taxpayers from ridiculous assessment increases during these difficult times", said Rep. Chuck Martin, R - Alpharetta
