2017 Budget Update: Millage Rates Remain Unchanged
At their meeting July 21, the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners adopted the millage rates that will fund a major portion of the county’s 2017 General Fund budget, Fire District and Bonds. Following three public hearings on the rates, the board voted to maintain the county’s millage rates with no change. The county’s millage rate of 8.036 is one of the lowest millage rates among metro Atlanta counties.
Forsyth County staff, Finance Committee and Board of Commissioners will continue preparing the county’s proposed 2017 budget, which is slated for adoption in November.
