2009 Property Tax & Water Rate Increases
Mar 4th, 2009 | By Editor | Category: All Posts, Consumer Information, GwinnettOn Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009 the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners approved a $1.7 billion dollar budget for fiscal year 2009.
The budget includes $62 million in additional revenue while including $33 million in budget cuts based on last year’s budget. While not finalized, Mike Comer, Deputy County Administrator estimates that property taxes could increase approximately $7 per month for a home valued at $100,000.
The BoC also approved a $0.20 per month base rate increase for water service. A monthly $5 base rate for sewer service was also added.
Thanks for the info. Is Gwinnett County going to re-access our property values? They’ve not been shy about raising our property values during the real estate boon, what about now? Obviously our property values have decreased during this real estate bust so it would only be fair to see the property values devaluated prior to increasing the millage rate used to calculate our tax increase.
I also went to the Gwinnett County website (gwinnettcounty.com) and reviewed the materials there including their spiffy PowerPoint presentation in PDF format. Is it just me or is there no mention of the stadium project? Nevermind that is represents roughly half of the deficit.
