ATLANTA — Tucked toward the end of the ballot are a couple of referendum questions that primarily have to do with tax law changes. Georgians made their voice heard.
Here, are the results for those two Georgia referendum questions on the 2022 ballot. One question is about an exemption for the timber industry and one concerning family farms.
Referendum Question A
- Ballot text: Provides for ad valorem tax exemption for certain timber production, reforestation, and harvesting equipment.
