Dacula will hold three public hearings on the city’s proposed 2021 millage rate. The first two will take place 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. June 22 at City Hall, 442 Harbins Rd. A third, and final public hearing will take place at 7 p.m. July 1, also at City Hall.
Dacula has carried out a deliberate strategy over the last several years to keep city taxes low without negatively impacting the quality of services provided to its citizens. However, by adopting a millage rate of 4.806, which is the same as last year, Dacula must advertise this as a tax increase.
The same millage rate is considered a tax increase when the city will receive an increase in property taxes due to increased property values. In this case, Dacula anticipates an increase in property taxes of 2.15%. For homeowners with a $250,000 home, this will result in an increase of about $9.40; for a non-homesteaded property valued at $275,000 the increase is about $11.11.
