As for the elderly, at least in Texas I believe their property taxes are frozen when they reach age 65. My guess is other states have a similar law. If Georgia does, then the elderly need not worry about their property taxes increasing.

I think that's a great law, but the housing issue isn't going to be the only problem. Both parties are probably going to have a problem adjusting to each other. To me it looks as if it's going to be a massive culture shock, which is not going to be a very good thing.

Here senior citizens do receive a discount on property taxes, but they are not frozen. I like Texas, it seems as if they are good about looking out for things like that.
