VOTE FOR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION
Questions And Answers on The Abolishment of the
Homestead Exemption
Q HOW MUCH WILL THE ABOLISHMENT OF THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION COST THE
TAXPAYER?
A—The greatest increase that any taxpayer would have to pay would be $36.00 during 1955
and 1956 and $30.00 thereafter on full $2000.00. This would also apply to assessed
valuation on homes from $2000.00 to $10,000.00 and up. The tax on a home assessed
for $1,000.00 would be $18.90 per year during 1955 and 7956 and $15.00 thereafter.
Q WHICH PEOPLE ARE NOW PAYING THEIR SHARE OF SCHOOL TAXES?
A Many homeowners in Chatham County pay no school tax, especially in new subdivisions.
There are many school children in these homes. These homes are assessed for $2,000 or less.
This amounts to $26 000,000 werth of tax free property.
Q HOW WOULD THE REMOVAL OF THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION EFFECT RENTERS?
A- Renters are now paying (through the rents charged them) a higher tax than homeowners
upon property of equal value. Abolishing the Homestead Exemption will remove this dis¬
crimination by taxing all homes at the sam e rate.
Q- WILL THE ABOLISHMENT OF THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION AS IT APPLIES TO
SCHOOLS TAKE THE PLACE OF THE 3-MILL INCREASE?
A—The 3-Mi!I increase was voted for a period of only three years.
Q WILL THE ABOLISHMENT OF THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION ELIMINATE CROWDED
CONDITIONS AND PROVIDE MORE ADEQUATE SCHOOLS?
A—The abolishment of the Homestead Exem ption will help to maintain the present status of
our schools.
