The Nov. 4 Clayton County special election/municipal general election includes two new homestead exemptions.

The homestead exemption is a legal provision that reduces property taxes and offers certain protections to a homeowner’s primary residence.

The referendums on the Nov. 4 ballot include one for the city of College Park and one for Clayton County.
