Hart County sets draft millage rate at 3.974 mills and schedules public hearing for next week
Summary
The board approved a draft 2025 millage rate of 3.974 mills for advertising, directed the county administrator to publish the statutorily required five-year history, and set a public hearing for next Thursday at 12:00 p.m.; staff explained the rollback calculation tied to local-option sales tax reductions.
The Hart County Board of Commissioners voted to adopt a draft millage rate of 3.974 mills for advertisement and to publish the required five-year history in the legal notice.
County administrator Kim explained that the draft reflects a rollback calculation to account for local-option sales tax (LOST) receipts, which reduce the property-tax levy the county must collect. The board discussed a rollback adjustment of approximately 2.186 mills tied to an estimated LOST reduction of roughly $4,210,000 and reviewed the total digest number cited by staff during the calculation.
The board authorized the county administrator to advertise the draft rate and scheduled the required public hearing for next Thursday at 12:00 p.m. for final adoption. Commissioners emphasized that the advertised draft is for public notice and that the final rate will be set after the public hearing and any required adjustments.
Attribution: the draft millage rate (3.974 mills) and the schedule for advertising and public hearing were presented by the county administrator and approved by motion of the board during the meeting.
Ending: The board asked staff to coordinate with the school system if their millage information arrives in time so final numbers can be signed at the subsequent meeting.
