State Representative Matt Reeves (R-Duluth) has expressed his approval following the passage of two homeowner property relief referenda by Gwinnett County voters on May 21, 2024. House Bill 711, which Rep. Reeves co-sponsored with bipartisan support from Gwinnett legislators, aims to double the homestead exemption for all homeowners in the county and was approved by 73.81 percent of voters. House Bill 748, designed to provide additional tax relief for school, law enforcement, hospital, and military personnel, received 63.47 percent approval.

"Hardworking Gwinnett homeowners deserve substantial tax relief to support their pursuit of the American Dream," said Rep. Reeves. "I am immensely proud to have championed this cause for Gwinnett’s homeowners and taxpayers. The overwhelming approval by Gwinnett voters demonstrates our community’s strong commitment to providing much-needed financial relief and fostering a better quality of life for all."

These measures garnered more votes than any other candidate or decision on the May 21 ballot and mark the first property tax relief referenda in Gwinnett County in 36 years.
