Two of three public hearings about Cobb’s proposed millage rate increase are set for tomorrow at 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. at the Cobb government building in Marietta.

The proposed 16 percent increase would raise the county’s rate from 9.60 mills to 11.21 mills. The increase would mean an extra $111 on a tax bill for a home worth about $200,000.

Cobb’s millage rate has remained the same for five years.

The commission is scheduled to vote on the rate hike July 26 after the third public hearing on the same night at 7 p.m.
