millage

Local governments have set their millage rates for Fiscal Year 2022 budgets.

The White County Board of Education plans to vote Thursday on lowering its millage rate.

Taxpayers shared their thoughts on the White County Board of Commissioners’ proposed millage rate during a pair of public hearings and presentations held the morning and evening of July 26.

With new budgets approved, local governments will soon set their millage rates that are used in calculating property taxes.

Four local millage rates will be rolling back or holding steady after governing bodies approved their adoption over the past week.

White County plans to keep its millage rate steady at 10.75 in conjunction with its Fiscal Year 2020-2021 budget, though it will still have to advertise a tax increase under state law.

Despite facing cuts in state funding, a proposed budget for the White County School System does not include a tax increase or employee furlough days.

The City of Helen was the only entity to approve rolling back their millage rate for fiscal year 2019-2020 on Thursday, July 18.
