The county tax rate will remain the same in 2024, Gwinnett County officials have signaled. The Commission is considering keeping the general fund millage rate the same as last year, at 6.950 mills.
They will hold three public hearings for residents to comment in the auditorium of the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center. 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville on the following dates:
- Thursday, June 27 at 10 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.
- Tuesday, July 16 at 11 a.m.
When the total digest of taxable property is completed, Georgia law requires that a rollback millage rate be computed to produce the same total revenue on the current year’s digest that last year’s millage rate would have produced had no reassessments.
For 2024, Gwinnett County’s rollback millage rate is calculated at 6.500 mills. The Board of Commissioners is considering a 2024 millage rate of 6.950, or 0.450 mills above the rollback millage rate. Therefore, state law requires commissioners to announce a property tax increase.
Gwinnett Commissioner Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson says: “By maintaining this stable tax rate, we can maintain a stable government that supports well-being and quality of life for all Gwinnett residents, businesses and visitors.”
