City of Villa Rica Public Hearing

The meeting focused on the second public hearing regarding the adoption of the millage rate for the city. Discussions covered the tax digest components, including real and personal property, and the impact of gross digest growth on the millage rate. Key topics included the decision to maintain the current millage rate rather than rolling it back to fund debt service, personnel costs, and rising operating expenditures. Additionally, the presentation addressed the implications of state legislation, specifically the floating homestead exemption under House Bill 581 and the property tax relief grant under House Bill 974. A public comment portion was held to address concerns and support for maintaining the existing millage rate.
