(Clayton County, GA) – Early and advanced is underway Oct. 16- Nov. 3, 2023. There are four questions on the Nov. 7, 2023, General/ Special Election ballot that reference Freeport Tax Exemptions. On October 16, 1979, Clayton County approved Level 1 Freeport, which has four categories. Therefore, there are four categories. Therefore, there are four questions on the ballot.

Currently, the county offers a 100% tax exemption for these items.

On the Nov. 7, 2023, ballot, voters are asked if the eligible Freeport items exemption status should be 80% which would mean the items would be 20% taxable.
