Alpharetta is considering a fiscal 2018 budget that officials say maintains a millage rate of 5.750 – the same rate it’s had since 2009 – while providing $2.4 million in annual tax relief to homeowners through a homestead exemption of $40,000, the highest in Georgia.
Public hearings on the proposed $130.2 million budget and millage rate levy are scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on three dates – June 5, 12 and 19 – in the Council Chambers at Alpharetta City Hall, 2 Park Plaza.

City officials say a total of $34 million is designated for capital investment, including $4.5 million for recurring, “pay as you go” capital initiatives. Projects include milling and resurfacing of streets, traffic signal repairs and maintenance, stormwater maintenance and other tasks.
The budget also contains funds for two additional public service positions and police body cameras, and improved service levels in the Recreation and Parks Department.
