BRACK: Taxing real property is not always easy and often not fair

By Elliott Brack  |  Equally taxing people is complicated.  For the tax year 2022, you could have two families living side-by-side in similar houses and one might be taxed considerably higher than the other. That’s because some Gwinnett residents get the benefit of a value offset exemption (VOE) for owner-occupied residences.
