DeKalb advertising same tax rate

The DeKalb County Commission recently agreed to announce its 2012 millage rate for county government will hold steady at 21.21 mills.

The move was expected despite property values in the county, which determine how much in taxes are paid to pay for operations, dropping about 8 percent from last year.

The commission is slated to vote on the millage rate at its July 10 meeting so that tax bills can go out in time for fall payment deadlines.
