Johns Creek maintains property tax levy

The Johns Creek City Council unanimously approved a property tax rate of 4.614 mills Monday. The levy remains the same as in past years, despite a plea from a handful of residents who sought a reduction in the rate.

Because the value of taxable property continues to decline in Johns Creek, the city expects to collect about $600,000 less in property taxes this year.

Officials will hold public hearings on the fiscal 2012 budget next month.
