Comment on Millage Rates 101: Calculating Your Tax Bill by admin

Jerry, the millage adopted and published by a Georgia taxing authority represents the amount of tax on every THOUSAND dollars of taxable value. In this example, the adopted rate of 14.000 is multiplied by 70, the “number of thousands” in the taxable value.

Another way to calculate it is to use the raw millage number and apply it to each dollar of taxable value. In this example, the raw millage rate is .014 . An easy way to convert from the published millage to the raw millage is to simply move the decimal point to the left THREE spaces (representing the three zeros in 1,000). You would then multiply EACH DOLLAR of taxable value by the raw millage (70,000 times .014).

The answer is the same. For another explanation of the calculation from a different angle, check out the link at the top of this page, “Millage Explained.”

It would actually be $9,800. (70,000 multiplied by .14 instead of .014.)

Comment on Georgia’s “Taxpayers Bill of Rights” fails to protect by Kathy Malone

Rather than cutting a check, stuffing it into an envelope and putting a stamp on it (which takes all of a minute and a half) I am now forced (by the vigorous bureaucratic might that renders itself dominant over my person and my business) to use a website to make monthly Tax withholding payments for my business; and I must say . . . it is by far the most convoluted system that could possibly be devised by man. I find it telling that the State of Georgia is willing to not only spend countless hours and money developing such a tortuous system, but would consider it to be a reasonable and responsible method for making tax payments. The use of it produces nothing less than unmitigated torture.

I’d like to try your millage calculator. We help clients gain control over their taxes by correcting property tax valuations. I’d love to help you any way possible. We see some pretty outrageous property taxation around the southeast. As a former local government manager and consultant, real estate broker and grad school teacher, I know what values should be. More importantly, I know how to get them corrected.
