The Lilburn City Council is scheduled to adopt the 2015 millage rate July 6. The proposed millage rate is a rollback from 4.45 to 4.43. However, the city expects to collect a total of $20,874 more in property taxes, about 1.3 percent more than 2014.
The anticipated increased property tax collection is the result of rising assessed property values in Gwinnett. Because the total amount of taxes collected citywide will increase, the state considers this to be a tax increase and requires three public hearings.
The city council will hold public hearings at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday, June 29, and 6 p.m. Thursday, July 2 at Lilburn City Hall, 76 Main Street.
