The Norcross City Council voted unanimously to maintain the city’s millage rate at 5.749 mills. This is the same rate as levied in 2015, but will result in an estimated increase of $445,147 in revenue to the city thanks to increased property values. For individual property owners to have avoided a properrty tax increase the city would have needed to adopt the rollback millage rate of 5.243.

The 5.749 percent millage rate remains the lowest in the city’s recent five-year tax history. Norcross considers the city a full-service community by providing residents with police, public works, code enforcement, court, community development, economic development, and other general government services.
