The Cobb County Board of Commissioners has tentatively adopted a millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes of 10.20 percent. This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 6.890 mills, an increase of 0.638 mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 6.252 mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $275,000.00 is approximately $63.80 and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with a fair market value of $375,000.00 is approximately $95.70.
Cobb County’s Board of Commissioners will decide later this month whether or not to increase property taxes in the county by 10 percent. Commissioners held two public meetings to discuss the tax increase this week. A third will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 25.
