ALBANY — The Dougherty County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to adopt proposed property tax increases for the county-wide and special services digests during a special called meeting held on August 28, 2023.
The millage rates in both will remain the same as last year.
“By keeping the millage rate the same as it was in 2022, the County benefits from the growth of the tax base while Dougherty County taxpayers will see either no increase to a minimal increase from improved 2023 valuations on property,” Interim County Administrator Barry Brooks said.
There is a property tax increase of .57 % for the County-Wide Digest and an increase of .17 % for the Special District Digest. The millage rates will not change. The county-Wide millage rate is 19.069 and in Special Services millage rate is 9.1730.
