THIS is the primary driver to me - I don’t like ‘renting’ my paid-for property from my county.

I get it they need the money, and in fact our county govt does a good job. Find another way to fund the budget and I’ll consider it. Sales tax is a fave, or a flat tax on income. “Let’s talk” about it.

“Sales tax is a fave, or a flat tax on income. “Let’s talk” about it.”

Don’t you get to vote on property taxes in Georgia and thereby have an input into the tax amount?

Would a sales tax or flat tax on income allow that?

If you had a sales tax would it be statewide or by county?

If it was statewide, would counties with more need for funding get help from counties with less need, to the detriment of the latter?

If it was by county, to the detriment of that county, would people make purchases outside their county to get a lower tax rate?
