Full millage rollback approved in McDonough

The McDonough City Council voted at its July 15 regular meeting to approve a full rollback of the city’s millage rate to 3.806 mills.

This is the fourth consecutive year the city’s millage rate has decreased, from a high of 4.922 in 2015. Last year’s millage was 4.083. City officials pointed out that the total tax digest for McDonough is above $1 billion for the first time, having increased more than 10 percent in the past year.

The vote to approve the rollback was unanimous and is expected to result in $3,874,335 in total city taxes levied, an increase of $147,279 from last year.
