Notice of Property Tax Hearings (Millage Rate)
The City of Johns Creek is currently in the process of adopting the 2024 Millage Rate. The City has published the Five-Year History of the Tax Digest and Levy as required by O.C.G.A. § 48-5-32.
Before the City of Johns Creek adopts the 2024 Millage Rate, Georgia law requires Public Hearings to be held to allow the public an opportunity to be heard. The City has scheduled three Public Hearings. All members of the public are invited to attend and participate in the hearings. The first Public Hearing will be held on July 8, 2024 at 11 a.m., and a second Public Hearing will be held on that same day, July 8, 2024 at 6 p.m. The third Public Hearing will be held during the regularly scheduled City Council Meeting at 7 p.m. on July 29, 2024. All public hearings are held in the Council Chambers in City Hall located at 11360 Lakefield Drive in Johns Creek, GA 30097.
Notice of Property Tax Increase
The City of Johns Creek has tentatively adopted a millage rate, which will require an increase in property taxes by 4.79%. All concerned citizens are invited to the Public Hearings on this tax increase to be held at the Johns Creek City Hall, Council Chambers located at 11360 Lakefield Drive, Johns Creek, Georgia on July 8, 2024 at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. An additional Public Hearing on this proposed tax increase will be held at the Johns Creek City Hall on July 29, 2024 at 7 p.m. in the Johns Creek City Hall, Council Chambers. Residents are invited to e-mail comments to public.comment@johnscreekga.gov.
This tentative increase will retain the current millage rate of 3.646, an increase of 0.130 mills above the rollback rate. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate would be no more than 3.516 mills (the rollback rate). The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $525,000 is approximately $26.52 and the proposed tax increase for a non-homestead property would be $27.30.
Pursuant to the requirements of O.C.G.A. § 48-5-32, the City of Johns Creek does hereby publish the following presentation of the current year’s tax digest and levy, along with the history of the tax digest and levy for the past five years.
