Forsyth County Schools | Board of Education Called Millage Hearing | July 23, 2026, 7:00 PM

The Forsyth County Schools Board of Education held a called millage hearing on July 23, 2026, to discuss the proposed millage rates for fiscal year 2027. The CFO presented the proposal to maintain the current maintenance and operations millage rate at 15.28 and the debt service rate at 1.418, explaining the implications of the Taxpayers Bill of Rights rollback provision. The board reviewed historical millage rates and tax digest growth, noting that keeping the rates steady would result in a modest tax revenue increase of 3.83%. Examples were provided to clarify the impact on homeowners, emphasizing that the proposal does not constitute a tax increase but reflects property reassessments. No public comments were made, and the board unanimously approved the motion to adjourn the public hearing portion of the meeting.
