Hall County homeowners would get $10,000 taken off the taxable value of their homes for county taxes starting in 2027 if voters say yes on Nov. 3. Seniors in the Hall County school district would see larger school tax breaks.
County taxes. Every Hall County homeowner would qualify for a $10,000 exemption on county property taxes. Homeowners who already have the state homestead exemption by Dec. 31, 2026 would get it automatically. Everyone else would apply once. The exemption covers up to five acres and stacks on top of any other county exemption. It would not touch school, city or state taxes.
Gainesville. City voters see two more questions. One would take $10,000 off the taxable value of a home for city taxes. The other would do the same for Gainesville city school taxes. Both start with 2027 tax bills, and homeowners would apply once. A Gainesville homeowner could end up with a $10,000 cut on three bills: county, city and schools.
Seniors in the Hall County school district. School tax breaks would change by age. Residents 66 and older would get a new exemption on the first $1.2 million of appraised value, which is $480,000 in assessed value. For the $30,000 exemption for residents 62 to 65 and disabled residents, the household income limit, which counts a spouse’s income, would rise from $25,000 to $40,000.
Each question passes or fails on its own, and an approved exemption takes effect Jan. 1, 2027.
Early voting runs through Oct. 30 at seven Hall County sites [1]. Election Day is Nov. 3.
