Houston County certifies estimated rollback millage of 8.501 mills for 2025
Summary
Facing uncertainty in the tax digest and the new Floating Homestead Tax Exemption, the Board certified an estimated rollback rate equal to the current rate (8.501 mills) to maintain compliance while digest figures evolve.
The Houston County Board of Commissioners certified an estimated rollback millage at 8.501 mills for tax year 2025. Commissioner Robinson said the estimated rollback matches the County's current millage rate and was chosen because digest numbers and the fiscal effect of the floating homestead exemption remain uncertain; the measure passed unanimously (motion by Ms. Robinson, second by Mr. Gottwals).
Chairman Perdue cited House Bill 581 and House Bill 92 from the Georgia General Assembly as affecting the homestead exemption process and said maintaining the current millage rate preserves compliance and flexibility as the net digest is finalized.
