Hall schools board sets preliminary millage rate
Final decision on tax hike to come by Aug. 27

Members of the Hall County Board of Education are tentatively considering raising property owners’ taxes this year — an increase that would mean property owners would pay another 82 cents on every $1,000 in taxable property value. According to the state’s guidelines on taxation, any rate increase that keeps property tax revenue the same is considered a “roll-up,” which allows the school board to offset revenue lost by falling property values. At a work session Monday, the board set a preliminary rate of 18.49 mills.
