Houston County schedules Aug. 20 special meeting to seek full millage rollback to 8.501
Summary
Chairman Perdue announced a special called meeting for Aug. 20 at 6:00 p.m. to approve a proposed full rollback of the county millage rate to 8.501 from last year’s 9.561.
Chairman Perdue announced that the Houston County Board of Commissioners will hold a special called meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 20 at 6:00 p.m., immediately following the regularly scheduled meeting, to vote on the county’s millage rate. "The plan is to recommend a full rollback of the millage rate to 8.501, which was 9.561 last year," Perdue said.
The announcement signals the board's intent to reduce the property tax rate for the coming year if the motion carries at that special meeting. The rollback number Perdue cited — 8.501 — contrasts with the prior year’s rate of 9.561, a difference the chairman framed as a full rollback. The meeting on Aug. 20 will be the formal opportunity for the board to adopt the rate; the public may attend that session where the board is expected to vote.
