Commission adds and approves rollback‑rate certification required by state law; consent agenda passes 4‑0
Summary
The Board of Commissioners voted 4‑0 to add an item to certify the county’s estimated rollback rate as required by state legislation and approved the consent agenda as revised.
The Cobb County Board of Commissioners on April 22 added and approved a consent‑agenda item to certify the county’s estimated rollback rate as required by newly signed state legislation.
The chairwoman moved to add the item to the consent agenda, saying the action was required by a law signed April 1. The board adopted the addition by voice vote, recorded as 4‑0. The subsequent consent agenda—revised to include the rollback‑rate certification—was approved by the board, also on a 4‑0 vote.
Commissioners and staff said the certification is a procedural requirement to allow the county to finalize assessment notices. The chairwoman noted the matter relates to recent state legislation discussed during public comment; staff made no additional fiscal details at the April 22 meeting.
The board did not provide further discussion about how the certified rollback rate will affect individual tax notices during the meeting; commissioners indicated staff will proceed with the required paperwork.
