AI Summary
This bill provides an optional mechanism for local governing authorities in Georgia to grant temporary tax relief to buildings located in federally declared disaster areas that have been severely damaged or destroyed. The bill outlines the process for local emergency management directors to assess the level of damage, create a report, and provide that information to tax commissioners and governing authorities. Governing authorities can then choose to provide relief through reduced millage rates or flat-dollar credits applied to eligible damaged or destroyed properties. The bill also allows property owners to appeal the damage assessment determinations. The provisions of the bill will take effect for property tax assessments issued on or after April 1, 2023.
