Cusseta‑Chattahoochee Commission adopts 2024 millage rate; county rate set at 8.512 mills

The Unified Government of Cusseta‑Chattahoochee County Commission on Sept. 3 adopted its 2024 tax levy, setting the county maintenance and operation rate at 8.512 mills and the total ad valorem tax levy at 25.50 mills.

The motion to adopt the millage rate was made by Commissioner Jason Frost and seconded by Commissioner Gerald Douglas; the minutes record the vote as unanimous. The adopted resolution lists the components of the levy, including a rollback for local option sales tax and insurance premium tax and the resulting “Actual County millage rate 8.512.” The resolution directs the clerk to transmit a certified copy to the Tax Commissioner and to publish the levy as required by law.

County officials did not provide additional detail in the minutes about budget line items funded by the levy or any projected revenue totals tied to the rate. The resolution text attached to the minutes supplies the numeric breakdown but does not show an estimate of total revenue collected under the levy. The Commission scheduled other routine agenda items and executive‑session items during the same meeting but did not revisit the levy figures in the publicly posted minutes.

The adoption is effective as the county's 2024 rate; the minutes do not specify any separate public hearing at which the levy components were debated, only that the motion passed unanimously.
