Current Approved Millage Rate

Millage rates are the tax rates used to calculate local property taxes. The rate represents the amount per every $1,000 of a property's assessed value.

Roswell City Council adopted a millage rate of 4.955 mills for FY2020 at their meeting on August 12, 2019.

Roswell's Millage Rate History

Tentative Millage Rate

The Mayor and Council of the City of Roswell have tentatively adopted a millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes by 0.43 percent.

All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearing/meetings on this tax increase to be held virtual on the following dates:

• Monday, August 24, 2020: During the Virtual City Council Meeting at 7:00 PM (First Reading)
• Wednesday, August 26, 2020: Virtual City Council Special Called Public Hearing at 6:00 PM
• Monday, August 31, 2020: Virtual City Council Special Called Meeting at 7:00 PM (Second Reading and City Council vote to determine the final FY2021 millage rate)

Due to restrictions associated with COVID-19, please regularly check the City meeting calendar for information on accessing meetings.

This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 4.705 mills, an increase of 0.02 mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 4.685 mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $400,000 is approximately $3.20 and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with a fair market value of $650,000 is approximately $5.20.

Tax Increase Explanation

Your total property tax rate, or millage rate, is proposed to remain the same as last year at 4.955. The City is estimating a slight increase in property values that may result in additional property tax revenue. Actual changes in property values will not be available until the City receives the official property digest from the Fulton County Tax Commissioner. The City's total property tax rate has remained the same since FY2019.
