The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners will hold a special called meeting 11 a.m. Tuesday, July 20 at Cherokee County Admin Complex/Cherokee Hall, 1130 Bluffs Parkway, Canton to conduct a public hearing to consider the 2021 Cherokee County Millage Rate, according to a press release.

The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners has tentatively adopted a millage rate, which will require an increase in property taxes by 3.97% percent. This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 5.212, an increase of .199 mills. Without this tentative increase, the millage rate would be no more than 5.013.

The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $275,000 is $20.90, and the proposed tax increase for a non-homestead property with a fair market value of $275,000 is $21.89.
