The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners has tentatively adopted a millage rate of 5.528, requiring an increase in property taxes of 0.82 percent, and has scheduled three public hearings on the tax hike in the coming weeks.
The hearings are scheduled for 6 p.m. June 20 and 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. July 18 at the Cherokee Administration Building and Conference Center, 1130 Bluffs Parkway, Canton. The board is to set the millage rate the evening of July 18.
The tentative millage rate represents an increase of 0.0045 mills. Without the increase, the rate would be no more than 5.483. A home with a fair market value of $225,000 would see a tax increase of $3.82, and a non-homestead property valued at $200,000, $3.60, officials said.
