Fulton County to Maintain 2008 Millage Rate
Some property owners will see tax decrease
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners has set a proposed 2009 General Fund millage rate of 10.28 mills, maintaining the 2008 millage rate.
The rate will be advertised as a tax decrease of 2%, as the result of an aggregate decrease in revenue due to lower property assessments. Approximately 131,345 Fulton County residential property owners whose properties declined in value since 2008 will see a tax decrease in 2009.
Fulton County’s 2009 General Fund millage rate is 1.3 mills lower than the 2004 rate of 11.581 mills. Fulton County has no general obligation bond debt for 2009.
The Board set a proposed millage rate of 8.159 mills for the South Fulton Tax District millage rate, representing an increase of 2.5 mills. Even with this increase, the 2009 millage rate for the South Fulton Tax District is among the lowest in South Fulton County.
The public will be invited to comment on all County millage rates during three public hearings scheduled as followed:
- August 12, 2009, 10 a.m. – Fulton County Government Center, 141 Pryor Street, SW, Assembly Hall. Video conferencing available from North Service Center, 7741 Roswell Road, Sandy Springs and South 5600 Stonewell Tell Road, College Park.
