Act 358 on the Nov. ballot would save seniors aged 65 and above up to $1,000 on their property taxes

WHO:            Mayor Andre Dickens

Former State Senator Jason Esteves

State Representative Inga Willis

WHAT:          Mayor Andre Dickens, former State Senator Jason Esteves, State Representative Inga Willis, and members of the Atlanta                                       legislative delegation will host a press conference on the importance of Act 358 which will provide tax relief for seniors across                           the city.

Act 358 appears on the November ballot following the passage of SB 330, authored by former Senator Esteves in collaboration with Mayor Dickens, Rep. Willis, and the entire Atlanta legislative delegation. This initiative would create a senior homestead exemption from City of Atlanta Independent School District ad valorem taxes for educational purposes, in the amount of $50,000 of the assessed value of the homestead. This exemption is applicable to residents of Atlanta who are 65 years of age or older, and would provide crucial relief for seniors feeling the burden of skyrocketing costs in Georgia.
