Senate Majority Leader Chip Roger’s property tax reform bill looks sure to pass the Senate with Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle’s support.

“We must bring fairness and equality to an antiquated and subjective system,” Cagle said in a statement today. “Simply put, many citizens are taxed far more than the value of their home and the appeals process is often daunting and confusing. Georgians do not pay higher taxes when the value of their cars decrease and property taxes should be no different. Today we are taking the first step to bring real changes and our goal is simple: increased transparency and fairness to a system that is broken.
