Tax relief

Gov. Brian Kemp announced Monday that the state is sending property tax relief funds to local governments this week. The one-time Homeowner Tax Relief Grant cuts the assessed value of qualifying homes by $18,000, which is not an $18,000 tax cut, and it shows up on your 2026 property tax bill instead of arriving as a check.

FOUND KITTENS

“Does anyone recognize these kittens? My brother found three of these little guys outside of our house yesterday morning. Only managed to grab two of them. They look to be about 6-8 weeks old and seem healthy. Both are very curious and playful with each other but anxious around people. The gray one is a girl, not sure…”
