The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners is considering keeping the county's millage rate flat for the upcoming fiscal year.
The flat rate could cause property tax increases for some owners in the county. The board will hold three public hearings in the next two weeks with the first coming Monday, July 12 at 9:00 a.m. at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center on Langley Drive in Lawrenceville.
Commission Chairwoman Nicole Hendrickson said the county is looking to use the added tax revenue to fund services.
“From engaging programs for our seniors, to our libraries, our roads and transit system and even how our court system runs - these are just a few services the tax revenue will pay for,” Hendrickson said in a release Saturday.
The other public hearings will also be held in the justice and administration center on Monday, July 19 with one at 9:30 a.m. and the other at 6:30 p.m. Public comment is also being taken on the county's website.
The final decision on the millage rate will be made at the board's meeting on Tuesday, July 20 at 2:00 p.m.
