Georgia · November 3, 2026 general election · Statewide ballot measure

Amendment 2: what your vote means

Acreage limit for conservation use property tax assessment. On every Georgia ballot. Official sources checked October 21, 2026.

Amendment 2 · Legislatively referred constitutional amendment (House Resolution No. 32, 2025)

Acreage limit for conservation use property tax assessment

Official ballot title (quoted exactly)

Shall the Constitution of Georgia, for the purpose of protecting family farmland, be amended so as to increase the maximum acreage to qualify for assessment and taxation as a bona fide conservation use property from 2,000 acres to 4,000 acres?

Ballot question as printed in the Georgia Secretary of State’s 2026 proposed constitutional amendments booklet.

A YES vote means:

A single owner could have up to 4,000 acres of agricultural and timber land, instead of 2,000, taxed under the conservation use assessment.

A NO vote means:

The current 2,000-acre limit for conservation use assessment stays in place.

What it would change

  • Official short caption: Increases the maximum qualifying acreage for assessment and taxation as bona fide conservation use property.
  • Who is affected: owners of large agricultural and timber properties, and local governments and school systems that levy property taxes.
  • How it works: conservation use property is assessed by a formula based on current use, not full market value, and owners must sign a covenant to keep the land in that use.
  • Fiscal impact: No official fiscal impact statement is published in the Secretary of State’s constitutional amendments booklet.
