Tucker City Council Meeting

The City of Tucker held a special called hearing on June 9, 2026, to discuss and set the 2026 millage rate. The council proposed maintaining the millage rate at 2.036, the same as the previous year, citing the need to manage inflationary costs, maintenance expenses, and service expectations without increasing the tax burden. The meeting included a detailed explanation of the homestead freeze policy, which limits tax increases for qualifying homeowners, and addressed public concerns about property tax calculations and increases. Several residents expressed opposition to the millage rate remaining the same, citing significant property tax increases over recent years and dissatisfaction with city services. The council reminded attendees that the official tax bills had not yet been issued and announced upcoming public hearings on the millage rate.
