Hall County, schools at odds over tax deadline
Placeholder Image
Hall County’s government is looking into the possibility of penalizing the school system for not setting a millage rate earlier. At the Hall County Board of Commissioners meeting last week, Commissioner Craig Lutz asked county staff to pull its agreement with the school board “and look to see if there is anything (the county) could do to perhaps establish a penalty going forward to ensure they handle their business as required by law on time and not put the county commission in any kind of jeopardy.” The county is required to file its tax digest with the state by Aug. 1, but has since received an extension to do so.
