The Suwanee City Council unanimously decided Tuesday to lower its property tax millage rate to 5.65, a slight reduction from last year’s rate of 5.70.

This is the second consecutive year that council members have agreed to lower the millage rate. The city's rate was 5.77 in 2010.

“We’re pleased to be able to lower our tax rate for our citizens and businesses for the second year in a row,” Mayor Dave Williams said. “There aren’t very many communities that have done that.”
