Sandy Springs to hold millage rate hearings
Sandy Springs will conduct the first of three public hearings on the 2015 millage rate at 6 p.m. July 15 in the council chambers at City Hall, 7840 Roswell Road.
The budget tentatively adopted by the city council requires a millage rate increase for the 2015 fiscal year.
The city millage rate of 4.731 is set in the city’s charter and has not changed since incorporation.
As a result of increasing property values, the millage rate for the new fiscal year reflects that is 1.07 percent higher than the rollback millage rate computed by the Fulton County Tax Assessors Office.
The two additional required public hearings will be on Aug. 5 at 7:30 a.m. and 6 p.m.
