Notice Of Property Tax Increase

AUGUSTA

The Richmond County School Board today announces its intention to increase the 2023 property taxes it will levy this year by 10.67 percent over the rollback millage rate.

When the total digest of taxable property is prepared, Georgia law requires a rollback millage rate must 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.

The budget adopted by the Richmond County School Board requires a millage rate higher than the rollback millage rate; therefore, before the Richmond County School Board set a final millage rate, Georgia law requires three public hearings to be held to allow the public an opportunity to express their opinions on the increase.

All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearings on this tax increase to be held at the County’s Board of Education building, 864 Broad Street, Augusta, GA on August 22, 2023, at Noon and 6:00 p.m. and on August 29, 2023, at 5:30 p.m.
