US EditionIn some states, a push to end all property taxes for homeowners
Georgia aims to eliminate $5 billion in annual homeowner property taxes by 2032, shifting revenue reliance to sales taxes, affecting schools and local services.
- On Wednesday, Georgia House Republicans proposed phasing out homeowner property taxes by 2032, raising exemptions from $5,000 to $150,000 in 2031.
- Amid a broader tax-revolt era, anti-tax organizers are pushing to eliminate homeowner property taxes, while supporters argue rising property values have inflated bills and undermine true ownership.
- State examples show North Dakota using its $13.4 billion oil tax savings account and expanded credits from $500 to $1,600, wiping out taxes for 50,000 households last year and reducing bills for nearly 100,000 more.
- Local governments and schools face risks as the Georgia proposal shifts $5.2 billion from property taxes to sales taxes, raising concerns over replacing revenue from $19.9 billion collected in 2024.
- Across states, the movement includes Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis backing a 10-year phaseout of homeowner property taxes and ballot measures in Oklahoma and Ohio, amid a national tax revolt era.
