Polk County commissioners certify 2025 estimated roll-back rate at 7.980 mills in 4–1 vote
Summary
At its April 1 meeting the Polk County Board of Commissioners certified a 2025 estimated roll-back rate of 7.980 mills as required by O.C.G.A. Title 48; the measure passed 4–1. The vote was the only nonunanimous decision recorded during the session.
Polk County Board of Commissioners certified a 2025 countywide estimated roll-back rate of 7.980 mills at their April 1, 2025 regular meeting, approving the certification by a 4–1 vote.
The roll-back rate certification was presented under an agenda item citing O.C.G.A. Title 48, the state law governing property tax notices and certification requirements. Commissioners voted to set and certify the rate during routine tax-rate business for the year; one commissioner dissented while four voted in favor.
The board did not provide an estimated revenue impact or further detail about how the certified rate will affect individual property tax bills during the meeting; those specifics were not specified in the record. The certification is a required step under state statute to calculate the property tax rate needed to generate the same tax digest revenue as the previous year.
The vote on the roll-back rate was the only item recorded with a split vote at the meeting; other agenda items were approved unanimously. The meeting concluded with routine reports and adjournment.
