County gets ready
to lower tax rates
For the eighth
straight year, the Coweta County Board of Commissioners will lower the
county's maintenance and operation property tax rate.
The county
will vote Oct. 3 on a rate of 6.2 mills for incorporated areas of the
county and 5.21 mills for the unincorporated county. Last year, the rates
were 6.26 for the incorporated and 5.27 for the unincorporated residents.
A mill is one
dollar per thousand dollars of a property's assessed value, which is 40
percent of its market value, minus any exemptions. Generally, a mill produces
about $38 in taxes on a $100,000 home.
The Coweta
County Board of Education will set its tax rate Oct. 2 at 5:30 p.m.
