As Governor Brian Kemp signed an adjusted budget, Georgia homeowners will receive a $500 property tax rebate.
On Friday, the Republican governor signed House Bill 18, which increases expenditure by $2.4 billion through June 30, the conclusion of the fiscal year.
Legislation Authorizing Tax Rebate
Under the $950 million property tax rebate scheme, taxpayers with homestead exemptions will get an average of $500 from the state. The budget contains $1 billion for people to get up to $500 in tax refunds for a second year.
The state Senate is scheduled to discuss legislation authorizing the refunds on Tuesday.
