Millage Rate Increase Hearings
The City of Statesboro has tentatively adopted a millage rate that will require an increase in property taxes by 33.98 percent.
All citizens are invited to the public hearings on this tax increase, which will be held at City Hall Council Chambers, 50 East Main Street, on September 8, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., and September 15, 2026, at 5:30 p.m.
This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 9.600 mills, an increase of 2.435 mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 7.165 mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $255,000 is approximately $243.50 and the proposed tax increase for a non-homestead property with a fair market value of $375,000 is approximately $365.25.
