Cusseta–Chattahoochee County holds hearings and records 8.512 mill rate
Summary
After public hearings Aug. 19 and Aug. 26, the Cusseta–Chattahoochee County commission moved forward with a millage rate of 8.512 mills; county officials said the gross digest rose slightly and the rate is effectively unchanged from last year.
The Commission of the Unified Government of Cusseta–Chattahoochee County held public hearings on Aug. 19 and Aug. 26 and recorded a county millage rate of 8.512 mills.
Chairman Charles Coffey and County Manager Thomas Weaver told attendees that the rate is essentially the same as the prior year and that the county’s gross digest has increased by just under $64 million. "The millage rate is 8.512," Coffey said during the Aug. 26 hearing; Weaver described the rate as "basically staying the same as last year." Both hearings were advertised in the county newspaper and on the county website, and no members of the public attended the Aug. 26 session.
Weaver and Coffey urged residents that the tax digest and five‑year history are public records and available for review at county offices. The work session records show the commission added the millage adoption to the regular meeting agenda and confirmed the item for a called meeting on Aug. 19 and the Aug. 26 work session public hearing.
County staff noted the school millage rate was reported at 17.30 mills during the Aug. 19 hearing while the county rate remained 8.512. The commission’s minutes indicate officials plan to make the digest and related documents available to the public upon request.
The commission adjourned the hearings and returned the matter to the regular agenda process; further procedural steps (publication of the final rate adoption and any tax notices) will follow per the county’s posting and legal-notice requirements.
