PRESS RELEASE
The White County Board of Commissioners wish to maintain the current millage rate of 9.998, however since the rollback rate is lower than the current millage rate – in order to maintain the same millage rate – state law requires the White County Board of Commissioners to advertise, announce a potential tax increase, and hold three (3) public hearings.
The White County Board of Commissioners works diligently to keep White County’s millage rate as low as possible while providing the necessary services to the ever-growing population and want to stress that their intent is to maintain the current millage rate of 9.998.
All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearings on this tax increase to be held at the County Administration Building, 1235 Helen Hwy. Cleveland, Georgia on Thursday, August 3, 2017 at 8:00 a.m. and Thursday, August 3, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. and Monday, August 14, 2017 at 4:30 p.m.
