Johns Creek council asks Fulton County not to raise property taxes
Summary
Council approved a resolution urging Fulton County Commission to halt a proposed one-mill property tax increase, citing uncertainty over prior revenue uses tied to a proposed jail project and urging a collective cities' approach.
Mayor Bradbury brought forward a resolution asking Fulton County not to increase property taxes after the county proposed a one-mill hike linked in prior discussions to jail funding. He told the council he had personally raised the issue with Fulton County and sought to coordinate sister cities to present a unified message.
Several council members supported the resolution, noting the burden on residents and the need to press the county for clarity on planned expenditures; Council member DiBiase called the county proposal "unconscionable" given prior uncertainties around jail plans. The council approved the resolution and indicated the mayor and others plan to attend the county hearing on August 6.
