The Dade County Board of Commissioners announced its intention to increase the 2023 property taxes it will levy this year by 8.73% in the Unincorporated area and 6.95% in the Incorporated area over the rollback millage rate.
Each year, the Board of Assessors is required to review the assessed value for property tax purposes of taxable property in the county. When the trends of prices on properties that have recently sold in the county indicate there has been an increase in the fair market value of any specific property, the Board of Assessors is required by law to re-determine the value of such property and increase the assessment. This is called a reassessment.
When the total digest of taxable property is prepared, Georgia Law requires that a rollback millage rate must be computed that will produce the same total revenue on the current year’s new digest that last year’s millage rate would have produced had no reassessments occurred.
All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearings on this tax increase to be held at the Dade County Administrative Building, Commissioners’ Public Meeting Room #259 located at 71 Case Avenue, Trenton, Georgia on August 10, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and on August 17, 2023 at 5:00 p.m.
