July 16, 2026 | City Manager Administrative Hearing

The City of Acworth, Georgia held a City Manager Administrative Hearing on July 16, 2026, focused primarily on the millage rate and property tax assessments for fiscal year 2027. The hearing clarified that the city is not proposing an increase in the millage rate, which remains at 8.95 mills, despite state-required advertisements indicating a tax increase due to higher total revenue collections from property reassessments and new property sales. The presentation detailed exemptions available to residents, including homestead and senior exemptions, and explained how tax bills are calculated. Public comments emphasized the need for improved communication and transparency regarding tax information and city meetings. No procurement, contracting, or budget allocation decisions were made during this hearing, as the focus was on tax rate disclosures and public input.
