City of Sugar Hill

Summary: This north Gwinnett city budgeted for $1,300,000 in property tax dollars to fund its 2005-2006 budget. However, the City Council adopted* a millage rate of 3.80 which is expected to bring in at least $498,455 more than is necessary to fully fund this year's budget.

The adopted millage is the same as the Council has adopted in the two previous fiscal years.

The mathematically-correct millage rate is 2.747

The owner of a $150,000** home in Sugar Hill will pay $228 in city property taxes, $63.18 more than his/her fair share to fund the cost of government this year.

*The Council vote split 2-2 with Council members Marc Cohen and Ron Johnson voting to adopt a lower rate. Mayor Gary Pirkle broke the tie in favor of the mathematically-incorrect rate.

**assessed value. This value does not include exemptions, which may lower your actual tax liability.
