HB 581: Now comes Flowery Branch

The Flowery Branch City Council (FBCC) is the latest local governing body to take up the issue of whether to opt out of the state’s new tax reform bill – HB 581.

The council will hold two special meetings and public hearings on the issue – one Thursday at 8:30 a.m. and another Tuesday, Feb. 18, at 6:00 p.m.

And as a follow-up to a recent public hearing by the Oakwood City Council, that body has a special meeting Monday at 7:00 and the only item on the agenda is “Intent to Opt Out of Homestead Exemption, HB581.”
