Peachtree City City Council passed its fiscal 2026 budget unanimously; staff said the budget allocates 47% to public safety, maintains last year's lower millage rate and that the city opted into House Bill 581 to freeze assessments used in property tax calculations.

A Peachtree City staff member said the Peachtree City City Council unanimously adopted the city's fiscal 2026 budget during last week's meeting.

The staff member said 47% of the budget is allocated for public safety. The speaker also said the council will keep the millage rate at the lowered level set in fiscal 2025. "Additionally, because we opted in to the new house bill 5 81, our assessments will be frozen for the calculation of your property tax bill," the staff member said; the speaker added that this change is expected to produce tax relief going forward.

The meeting transcript did not include the budget ordinance number, detailed line-item allocations beyond the public safety share, or specific figures for total budgeted dollars.
