TCC approves 5.98 Millage Rate for 2021 Tax Season

The Toccoa City Commission met on Monday to set the 2021 Tax Millage Rate.

During the Toccoa City Commission meeting, City Manager Billy Morse explained that City Staff were recommending the Millage Rate be set at 5.98 mills, the same as last year.

Morse says if the City Commission approved the recommended 5.98 millage rate, Smart Fusion, the software provider for Toccoa’s property taxes, will mail out taxes on September 15.

Taxes will be due on November 15, 2021.

The millage rate is the number of dollars of tax assessed for each $1,000 of property value.

For example, a rate of 10 mills means that $10 in tax is levied on every $1,000 in assessed value.

Commissioner Gail Fry made a motion approving the recommended millage rate of 5.98 mills with Commissioner David Austin seconding the motion.

The motion was approved 3-0 with Vice Mayor Jeanette Jamieson and Commissioner Terry Carter being absent.
