What you’re voting on Create a new $50,000 homestead exemption on Atlanta Public Schools (APS) property taxes for homeowners age 65+ on their primary residence (inside APS).

If you vote NO

• You want to keep current APS senior exemptions as they are, with no new $50,000 exemption added.

• Home: Primary residence located within APS boundaries

What to do next (If it pass)
