Chatham County School Board Ad Valorem Tax Referendum
What does this measure do?
Supports: Cost of Living Reduction
For school taxes, the taxable value of a Chatham County home you own and live in would be frozen at its 2025 level. Your school tax would not go up just because your home's value rises, so the school district would collect less over time than it otherwise would.
