Cusseta–Chattahoochee County keeps millage rate at 8.512 mills after two public hearings
Summary
After two advertised public hearings and a work-session review, the Cusseta–Chattahoochee County commission set the 2024 tax millage rate at 8.512 mills; the county manager said the gross digest rose about $64 million from the prior year and the school tax rate remains 17.30 mills.
The Cusseta–Chattahoochee County commission adopted a 2024 millage rate of 8.512 mills after two public hearings and a work session in August.
Chairman Charles Coffey opened the public hearings (Aug. 19 and Aug. 26) and staff presented the millage as effectively unchanged from the prior year. County Manager Thomas Weaver told the commission the millage “is basically staying the same as last year” and recorded the county rate as 8.512 mills. Coffey stated the county’s gross digest rose by just under $64 million year over year and reminded residents the digest is public record.
The Aug. 26 work session completed administrative review and the rate was added to the regular meeting agenda for final adoption. The county manager and tax assessor staff were thanked in public remarks for preparing the digest and the notice materials.
Background: The minutes record the local school district’s rate at 17.30 mills for the same tax year. No members of the public provided substantive testimony opposed to the proposed millage during the advertised hearings recorded in the minutes.
What happens next: The county’s formal adoption of the 8.512 rate was recorded in meeting minutes; the commission indicated a called meeting would be scheduled as needed for any further millage actions.
