2023 Press Release for Tax Increase

PRESS RELEASE ANNOUNCING A PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX INCREASE
The Treutlen County Board of Commissioners today announces its intentions to increase the 2023 property taxes it will
levy this year by 19.18 percent over the rollback millage rate.
With inflation and the rising cost of services, it is necessary to increase the tax revenue in Treutlen County in order
to maintain the current services in the county. Services in the county include services such as, but not limited to,
Sheriff and Fire Protection, Solid Waste Disposal, Emergency Services and Road Maintenance.
When the total digest of taxable property is prepared, Georgia law requires 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
reassessment occurred.
The budget tentatively adopted by the Treutlen County Board of Commissioners requires a millage rate higher than the
rollback millage rate; therefore, before the Treutlen County Board of Commissions may finalize the tentative budget and
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 Treutlen County Board of
Commissioner’s Office, 1830 MLK Jr Drive, Soperton Georgia, on September 21, 2023 at 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM and on
September 28, 2023 at 9:00 AM.

2023 Notice of Property Tax Increase 19.18% increase

NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX INCREASE
The Treutlen County Board of Commissioners has tentatively adopted a 2023 millage rate which will require an increase
in property tax by 19.18 percent.
All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearing on the tax increase to be held at the Treutlen County
Commissioner’s Office, 1830 MLK Jr Drive, Soperton Georgia on September 21, 2023 at 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
Times and places of additional public hearings on this tax increase are at the Treutlen County Commissioner’s Office,
1830 MLK Jr Drive, Soperton Georgia on September 28, 2023 at 9:00 a.m.
This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 14.959 mills, an increase of 2.407 mills. Without this tentative
increase, the millage rate will be no more than 12.552 mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market
value of $100,000 is approximately $91.47 and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with a fair market value of $75,000 is approximately $72.21.
