Cusseta‑Chattahoochee Commission adopts 2024 millage rate, sets county M&O at 8.512 mills
Summary
The Unified Government adopted the 2024 tax-levy resolution, setting the county maintenance-and-operation millage at 8.512 and a total ad valorem levy of 25.50 mills; the vote was unanimous among commissioners present.
The Unified Government of Cusseta‑Chattahoochee County on Sept. 3 adopted its 2024 tax-levy resolution, setting the county maintenance-and-operation millage at 8.512 mills and the school maintenance-and-operation millage at 16.99 mills for a total ad valorem levy of 25.50 mills.
The commission approved the resolution by unanimous vote of members present. The published resolution explains the county calculation: a maintenance-and-operation millage figure reduced by local rollbacks (local option sales tax and insurance premium tax) produces the 8.512‑mill county rate. The resolution directs the county clerk to transmit a certified copy to the tax commissioner and to publish the levy as required by state law.
Commissioners did not provide an extended debate on the levy during the meeting; the action followed routine agenda approvals. The adoption of the millage establishes the property‑tax rates the county will use in 2024 to fund county operations and school maintenance and will be used by the tax commissioner for billing and collection.
The commission’s minutes show the resolution was introduced, read and adopted at the Sept. 3 meeting. The clerk is charged in the resolution with certifying the levy to the Tax Commissioner and publishing the rate per statutory requirements.
