Summary
With no public comment, council voted unanimously to opt in to the HB581 homestead exemption. City Attorney said the change does not affect filing requirements for a primary residence; residents are reminded to file with Fulton County by March 31 for the exemption to take effect April 1.
Council opened a public hearing on Item 25-007 (HB581 homestead exemption) and received no public comment. Councilmember Ruby Foster moved and Councilmember Camille Lowe seconded to opt in to HB581; the motion passed unanimously.
