Lawrenceville officials are currently planning to retain the city’s millage rate of 1.826 for fiscal year 2020. Rising property values and keeping the same millage rate will mean an overall tax increase for property owners. Maintaining the millage rate at 1.826 mils will result in a 53-cent per month increase for a home valued at $200,000.
Mayor Pro Tem Keith Roche said, “Rising property values is a solid sign of a healthy and growing economy - something every citizen desires for his or her community. By maintaining this rate, we can continue the support of key service initiatives such as improved trash pick-up, repaved roads and the filling-in of sidewalk gaps for pedestrian safety.”
Lawrenceville will hold public hearings to discuss the proposed millage rate at noon and 6 p.m. June 26 and 7 p.m. July 10 at Lawrenceville City Hall, 70 South Clayton St.
