The Clayton County Board of Education (CCBOE) has announced its intention to maintain the current millage rate at 20 mills which will result in an increase of the 2020 property taxes levied this year by 3.03 percent over the rollback millage rate. The Board’s action is the result of a reassessment of the county’s property and is needed to provide revenue support for the FY2021 Budget at 20 mills.
All concerned citizens are invited to participate in the public hearing on the proposed tax increase on Thursday, August 6, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. The public hearing will be virtual using video-conferencing technology. Public comments on the proposed tax increase should be submitted in email format to the following address: [email protected]. Stakeholders submitting comments should include a name and contact phone number or email address. Comments for this public hearing should be submitted by 5:45 p.m. on August 6. All comments received by the indicated deadline will be read into the record of the hearing.
