Notification of Property Tax Increase

The Elbert County School District is proposing to lower the Millage Rate from 14.228 to 14.000 mills. We
held two public hearings on July 27, 2023 at 12:00 pm and 6:00 pm. The third meeting will be held on
Thursday, August 10, 2023 at 6:00 pm. The meeting will be held at the Elbert County School District
Board Office.
The Elbert County Board of Education is proposing a 2023 millage rate which will require an increase in
property taxes by 20.25% over the full roll-back rate percent.
All concerned citizens are invited to a public hearing on this tax increase to be held at the Elbert County
School District Board Office, 50 Laurel Drive, Elberton, GA 30635 on Thursday, August 10, 2023 at 6:00
pm.
The proposed millage rate is 14.00 mills, which is a decrease of .228 mills compared to the prior year.
However, the proposed mills are 2.358 above the full roll-back rate of 11.642 mills. Without this
tentative tax increase, the district could be at-risk of losing state equalization funds due to the millage
rate falling below 14 mills. Based on the proposed millage rate, the tax increase for a home with a fair
market value of $200,000 is approximately $141.48 and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead
property with a fair market value of $200,000 is approximately $188.64.
