Lilburn keeps millage rate same as previous year

The Lilburn City Council on Monday approved a 2011-12 millage rate of 4.26, unchanged from last year.

Council members unanimously voted on the millage rate at a specially called meeting early that morning at Lilburn City Hall. The millage rate has remained the same for at least the past five years.

To increase revenue for the annual budget, city officials added a $10 a month  sanitation fee for residents and tinkered with the city's occupational tax assessments for businesses.
