Gwinnett plans to keep general fund tax rate same as last year, but no rollback – Your Local News

Without going back, the rate is considered an increase in property tax.

The Gwinnett Board of Commissioners announced that it plans to keep the general millage rate fund at the same level as last year, at 6.95 mills. However, at 6.95 mills, it will be 0.45 mills above the return-to-normal millage rate. While the total taxable property summary is being prepared, Georgia law requires that a return-to-normal millage rate be calculated that will produce the same total revenue on the current year summary as last year’s millage rate would have produced if no reassessment had occurred. For 2024, Gwinnett’s return-to-normal millage rate is calculated at 6.5 mills. Since the 2024 millage rate the board of commissioners is considering is 6.95 mills, or 0.45 mills above the return-to-normal millage rate, state law requires commissioners to announce a property tax increase.

Taxpayers invited to provide comments at public hearing on Tuesday July 16 at 11:00 a.m. at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center in Lawrenceville. They can also submit comments online regarding the proposed tax rate.
