Sugar Hill plans to hold millage rate at 3.8 mills

For 16 years Sugar Hill has maintained the same millage rate of 3.8 mills. The city is tentatively planning to adopt this same rate for 2020, but state law requires local municipalities to advertise a tax increase when the previous year’s millage rate results in more revenue.

Additional revenue will result from increased property value assessments made by the Gwinnett County Board of Tax Assessors and new construction added to the city’s tax digest.

For a homeowner with a property valued at $300,000, this will mean an increase in property taxes of about $19.68 or 5.4 cents per day. For a commercial property valued at $275,000, the increase will be about $18 or 5 cents per day.
