The City of Suwanee recently adopted a $20.8 million balanced operating budget with a proposed millage rate of 4.93, which has been unchanged for 13 years.
Suwanee City officials said the budget reflects a 7.8 percent increase in operating expenditures compared to the amended FY 2025 budget.
The budget includes 128 full-time and 7 part-time positions, with five new full-time positions and one upgrade from part-time to full-time, 13.5 percent group health insurance renewal and implementation of the classification and compensation study.
Also included are $650,000 for facilities, landscaping, and right-of-way maintenance, $314,000 for vehicles, parks, and building repairs, and $606,000 in capital funding.
The proposed millage rate is a rollback millage rate increase of .184 mills, a 3.88 percent increase in property taxes based on market value growth.
The City will hold three public hearings at City Hall on September 11 at 5:30 p.m. and September 23 at noon and 6:30 p.m., before adopting the millage rate.
