Legal Administration Committee Meeting

Motion to Approve 2015 Mill Rates
Department:Finance
Caption:Motion to Approve 2015 Mill Rates for Each Taxing District and
the Accompanying Mill Rate Resolution.
Background:The State of Georgia Department of Revenue specifies a required
process by which mill rates may be levied. On July 21, 2015 the
Commission approved the scedule of proposed mill rates for each
taxing district. On July 28, 2015 the required advertisement of the
current year digest and 5 year history of the levy appeared in the
newspaper. Also included in the ad was today's date and time of
meeting to adopt those mill rates.
Analysis:Each requirement of the process has been met. Today's adoption
of the proposed rates is the final step.
Financial Impact:Setting the millage rates in a timely manner is necessary to obtain
digest approval from the state. Approval of the digest must be
received from DOR before the Tax Commissioner can produce
and mail tax bills. Each requirement must be met and all actions
must be taken at the advertised time and date.
Alternatives:
Recommendation:Approve the mill rates as proposed for each taxing district and the
mill rate resolution
