State legislation affecting how the county elects its Chief Appraiser and issues property assessment notices is still being sorted out.
April 28, 2026: Chief Appraiser status update on House Bill 566, Senate Bill 33, and assessment notice timing
No next step has been documented.
The story
In February, the Habersham County Board of Tax Assessors was informed of new state legislation regarding the election of a Chief Appraiser.
By late April, the board learned that House Bill 566 had been signed by the Governor, but a new assessment notice had not yet been set up in the county's WinGAP system. Senate Bill 33 remained on the governor's desk at that point.
What happened
Open any step for its supporting record. A proposal remains labeled as proposed until later evidence establishes an outcome.
House Bill 566 has been signed by the Governor but a new assessment notice has not been set in WinGAP yet. Senate Bill 33 is still on the governor’s desk.
Mr. McCormick also informed the Board that there is new legislation in regards to electing a Chief Appraiser.
