Summary

Chattahoochee Hills adopted item 24‑041, a revenue‑neutral rollback of the city millage rate intended to offset assessment‑driven tax increases for long‑term residents while still capturing revenue from new development.

Council adopted ordinance 24‑041 setting the city’s millage rate as a revenue‑neutral rollback. The mayor explained that inflation and rising home values increase property tax burdens for residents on fixed incomes, and the rollback aims to protect existing citizens while allowing the city to collect additional revenue from new houses and development.

"The tax rollback is a revenue neutral thing," the mayor said during the presentation. The council opened the required public hearing, heard no public comment, and then voted to adopt the millage rate as described in staff materials.
