Johns Creek has scheduled three public hearings in August on a tentative millage rate that would result in a 13.3% increase in property taxes.

A 2020 net maintenance and operations millage rate of 3.986 mills would represent an increase from last year’s M&O rate of 3.552 mills. For a home with a fair market value of $300,000, the new millage rate would result in additional taxes of about $53, and $56 for a non-homestead property, the city said.

Public hearings are set for 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday, Aug. 10, and 8 p.m. Monday, Aug. 17 (changed from a previously announced date of Aug. 24) in the Council Chambers at Johns Creek City Hall, 11360 Lakefield Drive. Residents also can email comments to PublicComment@johnscreekga.gov

The City Council is to vote on the final 2020 millage rate at a special called meeting 8 p.m., Aug. 17. Information: https://bit.ly/3g5HzWv
