Board Gets 18.5 Tax Millage
By Maxine Thompson
Houston County Com
missioners accepted the
Board of Education’s
request for 18.5 mills
Tuesday, an increase of 1.5
mills over last year. The
county is required by law to
accept the amount requested
and is not allowed to change
it.
The county commissioners
had set a tax rate of 12 mills
for general county purposes
and .25 of a mill for the state,
so the total tax levy for the
county is 30.75 mills.
Under new state laws, the
state department of revenue
can reject the Houston
County tax digest to be
submitted by the tax com
missioner in the near future,
then raise property
valuations and reduce the
millage set by the county,
