Senate Member Sean Jerguson no matter how you split it, you will raise the amount Home Owners are assessed for taxes in Cherokee County
The phone call I recieved was from the Georgia Association of Realtors asking why I would send out an email that hurts an incumbant that is pro Realtor. I only listened to what they had to say and responded after listening to there side.
Their side on the surface made sense but as with any other bill that goes to the house there are items attached to it that or in the fine print that voters miss or told not to worry about by the incumant.
The House Bill 1272 is such a bill. On the surface it says that Tax Assesment would be frozen. This is bad. It will force the county and cities needing additional revenue to raise it millage rate.
Homes that are side by side will be taxed differently resulting in a higher tax bill for each. This is unfair.
Sean Jerguson is only putting a spin on the facts that make it appear he is working for home owners when infact he is only shifting the blame for increased taxes in County and City Government.
Please see the attached below. It has remarkes from local goverment that would be made the bad guy because they would have to raise the millage rate them self.

Times have changed, ask any Mortgage Lender, Realtor, or anyone looking to buy a home.
When buying a home the buyer must be pre-approved unconditionally. Why is this so important to be approved unconditionally?

Only to later learn they are unable to purchase the home because of the daily changes taking place in the mortgage industry.
In the past a person wishing to buy a home only needed to be pre-qualified or pre-approved to get a Realtor to show ...

Buying a home that is in foreclosure is much different than buying one that is for sale by an individual or a property owned by bank.
A foreclosure is a process that allows the lender to repossess the home and later sale it to resolve a default on a property.
