The Gwinnett Board of Commissioners is considering keeping the general fund millage rate the same as last year, at 6.95 mills, and will hold three public hearings for residents to comment.

• Thursday, June 27 at 10:00am and 6:30pm
• Tuesday, July 16 at 11:00am

All three public hearings will be held in the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center auditorium located at 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville. County staff will be available for questions at each public hearing.

When the total digest of taxable property is prepared, Georgia law requires that a rollback millage rate be computed that will produce the same total revenue on the current year’s digest that last year’s millage rate would have produced had no reassessments occurred.

For 2024, Gwinnett County’s rollback millage rate is calculated at 6.5 mills. The 2024 millage rate the Board of Commissioners is considering is 6.95, or .45 mills above the rollback millage rate. Therefore, state law requires commissioners to announce a property tax increase. Required notices for the millage rate adoption will be published in the Gwinnett Daily Post, the county’s legal organ, on Wednesday, June 19.

The Board of Commissioners adopted the 2024 budget assuming the current millage rate, not the calculated rollback rate. The revenue raised from 2024 taxes will fund County services and needs that the Board approves.

Commissioners will also consider millage rates for the police, fire and emergency services, development and code enforcement, recreation, and economic development funds.

In addition to the public hearings, the Board of Commissioners is accepting comments online about the 2024 proposed millage rates. Residents can submit their comments using the online comment form and learn more about their Property Taxes on the County’s website The online comment period closes Monday, July 15 at 9:00pm.

The millage rates will be considered during the Board of Commissioners scheduled meeting on Tuesday, July 16 at 2:00pm.

Generally, property owners who benefit from the Value Offset Exemption will not see an increase in the county government portion of their property taxes.
