Fannin County commissioners set tentative 2026 millage rate at 2.401, authorize public hearing
Summary
At a special called meeting the Fannin County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution to advertise a proposed fiscal year 2026 general maintenance and operations millage rate of 2.401 and scheduled a public hearing for Aug. 25, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at the county courthouse.
The Fannin County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday approved a resolution authorizing the advertisement of a proposed tentative general maintenance and operations millage rate of 2.401 for the 2026 tax year and set a public hearing for Aug. 25, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at the Fannin County Courthouse.
Chair (identified in the meeting transcript as the presiding commissioner) read the resolution and cited Georgia law, including multiple references to OCGA 48-5-32, requiring that a levying authority publish notice at least two weeks before adopting a millage rate. The chair said the proposed 2.401 rate "does not exceed the rollback rate." When asked about the effect on taxpayers, the chair described the action as "It's a full rollback," and added, "No increase."
The chair moved to accept the resolution and a second was recorded; the motion passed on an affirmative voice vote. The resolution directs the county clerk to publish the statutory notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the county and to follow the procedures required under OCGA 48-5-32.
The meeting was convened as a special called meeting to consider this single item. The chair invited public comment; none was recorded. The board adjourned after the vote. If residents seek to comment before the hearing, the published notice will include instructions and the statutory timeline for participation.
