NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX INCREASE
The Board of Education of the City of Decatur has tentatively
adopted a millage which will remain the same as the Fiscal
Year 2018 millage rate of 18.66 mills; however due to property
reassessments, this will represent an average increase of 3.43% in
property taxes.
All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearing on this tax
increase to be held at the Board Room of the Central Office, 125
Electric Avenue. Decatur. Georgia on Tuesday. July 17. 2018 at
8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 18.66 mills,
an increase of 0.619 mills over the rollback millage. The rollback
millage rate is calculated to produce the same total revenue on
the current year’s digest that last year’s millage rate would have
produced had no reassessments occurred. Without this tentative
tax increase, the rollback millage rate will be no more than 18.041
mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market
value of $475.000 is approximately $147 and the proposed tax
increase for nonhomestead property with a fair market value of
$575 000 is approximately $178.
