Coweta considers millage increase
Coweta County will have a hearing tonight on the first proposed millage increases in 12 years.
The rate for residents of unincorporated Coweta would increase from 3.91 to 5.15. The owner of a $200,000 home would pay about $99 more in county taxes.
Residents of the municipalities would see their millage increase from 5.12 to 6.31. That’s about a $95 tax increase on a $200,000 home, said county finance director Rick Smoot.
Taxes are going up because of increased demands for services from a growing population, said Tom Corker, the county’s administrative and operations director.
Tonight’s hearing begins at 6 in the County Commission meeting room, 37 Perry St. in Newnan. Another hearing will be 6 p.m. Tuesday.
