Johns Creek To Hold Millage Rate Hearings For 2021

JOHNS CREEK, GA — The City of Johns Creek is currently in the process of establishing its 2021 millage rate. The city, incorporated on Dec. 1, 2006, has published its five-year history of its tax digest, property revenues and millage rate.

In 2020 the Johns Creek City Council adopted a final millage rate of 3.986. This represented an increase of 0.43 mills from the adopted 2019 rate of 3.552.

Before setting the 2021 millage rate, Georgia law requires a public hearing to be held to allow the public an opportunity to provide comment on the subject.

The initial public hearing will be held at a special called meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 9 in the Council Chambers at City Hall. Additional public hearings on this proposed tax increase will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 16, and another at 7 p.m. Anticipated adoption of the final millage rate for 2021 will take place at 7 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 16 at the City Council Meeting.

Each year, the Board of Tax Assessors is required to review the assessed value of taxable property in the county. When the trends of prices on properties that have recently sold in the county indicate there has been an increase in the fair market value of any specific property, the Board of Tax Assessors is required by law to re-determine the value of such property and adjust the assessment. This is called a reassessment.
