Whigham council adopts 2025 millage rate of 3.304, citing slight tax decrease
Summary
The Whigham City Council on Dec. 9 approved a 2025 millage rate of 3.304, which the mayor said represents a modest rollback that reduces taxes levied to the city by about $1,100.
The Whigham City Council on Tuesday approved a 2025 millage rate of 3.304, Mayor Trey Gainous said.
Gainous read the proposed rate during a public hearing and said the rollback rate of 3.304 represents a slight reduction — about $1,100 — in taxes levied to the city for the year. Jim Sellers moved to adopt the proposed rate; Robert Porter seconded, and "all members present voted in favor," the minutes record.
The rollback-rate number is the council's calculation of a tax rate that would yield the same revenue as the prior year. City officials did not provide a published revenue estimate in the meeting minutes. Council discussion on the millage was brief and no amendments or alternative rates were offered.
By adopting the 3.304 rate, the council fixed the property tax rate for the 2025 tax year; the city clerk will complete any necessary filings required by county and state tax authorities. The council did not record any separate motions to change budget appropriations during the same meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 6:08 p.m.; no further hearings on the tax rate were scheduled in the minutes.
