City of Douglasville Plans No Change to Current Millage

Published on August 04, 2025

The Douglasville City Council intends to maintain the City’s property-tax millage rate at 8.749 mills, the same level adopted last year. Because this rate exceeds the lower “rollback” rate that would completely offset rising property values, Georgia law requires the City to advertise a 4.33 percent tax increase even though the millage rate itself is unchanged.
