City of Villa Rica passes millage rate of 5.588 mills for 2026
VILLA RICA, Ga., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Villa Rica City Council voted August 28, 2028, to maintain the city's millage rate 5.588 mills for 2026.
The Villa Rica City Council voted August 28, 2028, to maintain the city's millage rate 5.588 mills for 2026.
Georgia law requires local governments to calculate a rollback millage rate to keep total tax revenue flat. If a government maintains the millage rate instead of lowering it to the rollback rate, the state treats it as a tax increase.
As a result of maintaining its current millage rate, under state law property taxes will increase 3.71 percent in the city. The tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $325,000 will be approximately $26. The tax increase for a non-homestead property with a fair market value of $337,500 is approximately $27.
