Cobb will hold 3 hearings on proposed tax increase
The Cobb County Board of Commissioners will hold three public hearings on a possible tax increase this month before adopting the new budget in August.
For the owner of a $100,000 house, that annual increase would be $5.28.
There is a 2.53 percent increase over the 6.944 millage rollback rate with the proposed millage rate set at 7.12 for the general fund.
The first hearing will be 9 a.m. July 14 during the regular Board of Commissioners meeting in the BOC Room, second floor, 100 Cherokee St., Marietta.
The other two will be special-called meetings at 6 p.m. July 14 and 4 p.m. July 22, both in the same location.
At the last hearing, the commissioners are expected to adopt the county millage rate and to ratify the county school district millage rate.
