Columbia County voters face board chair, tax referendum decisions

What voters will decide

Columbia County voters face two decisions: the board chair race and a referendum involving a homestead exemption. The board chair position and the tax-related referendum are separate matters on the ballot.

Homestead exemption question

A homestead exemption generally concerns property-tax treatment for an eligible primary residence. The referendum’s specific language, eligibility rules and effect on homeowners are not identified here, so voters should review the official ballot wording before making a decision.

Board chair race

The race will determine who holds the board chair position. Candidate names, campaign statements and other race details are not identified here.

What to check before voting

Voters should confirm the candidates on the official ballot and read the full referendum language. The Columbia County election authority can provide voting information and the final ballot.
