Oakwood formally asks Hall County to look at city fire tax
City wants same rollback as unincorporated areas

Oakwood followed through Tuesday on its vow to formally contact the Hall County Board of Commissioners about what it deems as fire tax inequalities between the city and unincorporated areas of the county. In a letter to Hall County Administrator Randy Knighton, City Manager Stan Brown asked the commission to “apply the same fire district millage rate rollback to city of Oakwood taxpayers as is provided to unincorporated taxpayers.” “Since the rollback to unincorporated taxpayers is based on the insurance premium tax payment the county receives from the state of Georgia, the city of Oakwood will agree to forward the insurance premium tax payment” in exchange for the rollback, Brown wrote.
