Property Tax Increase Public Hearings
NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX INCREASE
The Clayton County Board of Commissioners has tentatively adopted a 2024 millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes by 31.11 percent for Clayton County M & O.
All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearing on this tax increase to be held at the Clayton County Board of Commissioners Board Room, 112 Smith Street, Jonesboro, GA on July 16, 2024 at 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Times and places of additional public hearings on this tax increase are at the Clayton County Board of Commissioners Board Room, 112 Smith Street, Jonesboro, GA on August 6, 2024 at 6:00 PM.
This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 15.266 mills, an increase of 3.622 mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 11.644 mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $250,000 is approximately $261.54 and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with a fair market value of $350,000 is approximately $406.84.
PRESS RELEASE ANNOUNCING A PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX INCREASE
The Clayton County Board of Commissioners today announces its intention to increase the 2024 property taxes it will levy this year by 31.11 percent over the rollback millage rate for Clayton County M & O.
Each year, the board of tax assessors is required to review the
Assessed value for property tax purposes of taxable property in
The county. When the trend of prices on properties that have
Recently sold in the county indicate there has been an increase
in the fair market value of any specific property, the board of tax
assessors is required by law to re-determine the value of such
property and adjust the assessment. This is called a reassessment.
When the total digest of taxable property is prepared, Georgia law requires a rollback millage rate must be computed that will produce the same total revenue on the current year’s digest that last year’s millage rate would have produced had no reassessments occurred.
The budget adopted by the Clayton County Board of Commissioners requires a millage rate higher than the rollback millage rate; however, before the Clayton County Board of Commissioners may set a final millage rate, Georgia law requires three public hearings to be held to allow the public an opportunity to express their opinions on the increase.
All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearings on this tax increase to be held at the Clayton County Board of Commissioners Board Room, 112 Smith Street, Jonesboro, Georgia on July 16, 2024 at 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM and on August 6, 2024 at 6:00 PM.
