Real estate levies in this northwestern Georgia county fund essential public services such as schools, libraries, road maintenance, and public safety. These assessments are based on the fair market value of properties, including residential homes, commercial buildings, and land. For example, a homeowner’s annual payment is calculated by multiplying the assessed value of their residence by the applicable millage rate.
Stable and predictable revenue generated through these levies enables the county to maintain its infrastructure, provide quality education, and ensure public well-being. This funding mechanism has a long history, reflecting the community’s commitment to supporting local government and fostering a thriving environment for residents and businesses. The system relies on accurate property valuations and transparent collection processes to ensure fairness and accountability.
