Marietta adopts same millage rate

The Marietta City Council voted Monday to keep the general fund millage rate of 2.788, the same as last year’s rate.

In June, the council adopted a balanced budget without raising taxes, establishing new fees or reducing services.

Covering July 1 through June 30, the city’s overall Fiscal Year 2016 budget is $339.7 million, which includes $52.7 million for the general fund budget.

Information: Marietta’s Tax Division, 770-794-5680.
