Soil and Water Conservation District supervisors serve on a local board that promotes erosion control, stormwater management, and conservation practices on farm and developed land. The district works with state agencies and landowners largely through education, technical assistance, and review of soil erosion and sedimentation plans rather than through taxation or broad regulatory power. The role is nonpartisan and unpaid, with modest budgets.

This amendment would double the maximum acreage a landowner may enroll under Georgia's bona fide conservation use valuation, from 2,000 to 4,000 acres. Enrolled land is taxed on its current farm, forest, or conservation use rather than full market value, in exchange for a covenant keeping it in that use. Approval would lower property tax bills for very large landholders and shift a small share of the local tax base to other payers.

This amendment would require that all probate court judges in Georgia be elected without party labels. Probate judges handle wills and estates, guardianships, marriage and weapons carry licenses, and in some counties traffic and misdemeanor matters and election duties.

This amendment would let the General Assembly dedicate certain existing state revenues to a nonlapsing Georgia Next Generation 9-1-1 Fund used only for expanding, maintaining, and operating emergency 9-1-1 systems. It does not create a new tax; it earmarks money that could otherwise go to the general fund, reducing legislative flexibility in later budgets. Local 9-1-1 centers and dispatch technology would be the intended beneficiaries.

This would re-impose a 1 percent county sales and use tax for up to six years to raise an estimated $1.15 billion, shared by Cobb County and its seven cities. Proceeds would fund road paving and safety work, sidewalks and transit capital, water and stormwater infrastructure, EV charging, parks and trails, libraries, senior and community centers, public safety facilities and vehicles, a State Court courthouse and a detention center infirmary, and technology and E-911 upgrades. If it fails, the sales tax rate drops and these projects would need other funding or be deferred.

This referendum would authorize the City of Mableton to use Georgia's Redevelopment Powers Law, which allows a city to designate redevelopment areas and create tax allocation districts (TADs). In a TAD, growth in property tax revenue within the district is set aside to pay for infrastructure and development costs there, often by issuing bonds, instead of flowing to general government services. It grants a tool; it does not itself create any district or raise tax rates.
