Habersham Commissioners Considered State Plan to Freeze Property Values at Last Sale Price

Habersham County’s Board of Commissioners discussed a proposed state-law change on Feb. 19, 2024 that would set a property’s fair market value at its latest sale price and keep it there until the property is sold again. The proposal surfaced during the board’s work session as a potential change to Georgia’s property-valuation rules; the minutes record discussion, not a vote or a new county assessment policy.
