The Hall County Board of Education (BOE) will be moving forward with a property tax increase for 2024 property taxes.
The announcement was made available to the public Friday afternoon, June 14, by Hall County Board of Education Director of Communications Stan Lewis in a press release.
According to the press release, “The Hall County Board of Education today announces its intention to increase the property taxes it will levy in 2024 by 7.97 percentage over the rollback millage rate.”
Hall County property owners will see this year’s millage rate increase by 1.154 mils, to 15.640. Last year’s millage rate was 14.486.
The budget that the Hall County BOE has tentatively adopted requires a millage rate higher than the rollback millage rate. By law, the BOE is required to hold three public hearings to allow the public an opportunity to express their opinions on the increase. After the three public hearings, the BOE can finalize the budget and adopt the millage rate.
The Hall County BOE has scheduled three public hearings. The first two public hearings will be held on Monday, June 24. The first hearing will be held at 11:30 a.m. and the second hearing will be held at 6:00 p.m. The third public hearing will be held on Monday, July 15 at 6:00 p.m.
All three public hearings will be held at the Hall County School District at 711 Green Street in Gainesville. According to the press release, “All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearings on this tax increase.”
