NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX INCREASE

The City of Lawrenceville has tentatively adopted a millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes by 25.31 percent.  The .45 mill increase is to fund four police positions and three positions that were allocated to the Street Department for maintenance of City Streets.  All concerned citizens are invited to a public hearing on this tax increase to be held at City Hall, 70 S Clayton Street, Lawrenceville, Georgia 30046 on July 19, 2021 at 5:00 pm.  Times and place of additional public hearings on this tax increase are at City Hall, 70 S Clayton Street, Lawrenceville Georgia 30046 on July 26, 2021 at 12 noon and 7:00 pm.  This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 2.228 mills, an increase of 0.45 mills (above the roll-back rate).  Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 1.778 mills.  The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $225,000 is approximately $40.50 and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with a fair market value of $425,000 is approximately $76.50.
