Either must also be a resident of the State of Georgia or reside in a county of another state that abuts Georgia or own a business in Georgia. Active members of the U.S. Armed Forces are exempted, as are their immediate family members. Non-U.S. individuals may serve, but only in an ex-officio, nonvoting capacity. |

| This proposed constitutional amendment is called the "Ad Valorem Tax Assessment Limit Amendment." The measure would provide that the rate of increase of the assessed value of real property shall not exceed 7.5 percent for each 3 year period of successive ownership and shall not exceed the lesser of 2.5 percent or percent change in inflation from one tax year to the next tax year. Among other things, it also allows for current use valuation of all or any subclass of real property. Once the constitutional amendment itself has been approved, it will only become effective in a local tax jurisdiction only following approval in a local referendum. |
