City Council Special Meeting | July 9, 2026

The City Council of Savannah held a special meeting on July 9, 2026, primarily to discuss the property tax millage rate for the fiscal year 2026. The council reviewed the proposed millage rate of 11.749 mills, which is the same as the previous year and slightly above the rollback rate of 11.402 mills. Due to Georgia state law, this requires the city to advertise it as a tax increase and hold three public hearings before adoption. The meeting included procedural motions to close the hearing, with no additional procurement or budget allocation decisions discussed beyond the tax rate setting process.
