Current Georgia Department of Revenue protocol requires that all three of the millage rate public hearings required under Georgia Code ₴48-5-32.1 have a quorum (consisting of 3 city council members) for the tax digest to be certified at the state level and local property taxes to be collected.

There was not a quorum of Statesboro City Council members present at the first two required public hearings for the 2024 millage rate. Accordingly, the City of Statesboro will hold an additional three public hearings to meet this requirement. 

Two public hearings will be held on Thursday, September 26th at 12:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. The final public hearing will be held at 6:00 P.M. on Thursday, October 3rd in conjunction with a called meeting of the Mayor and Council to adopt the 2024 millage rate. 
 
The millage rate adopted during the September 17th City Council will be reconsidered for formal adoption during the final hearing on Thursday, October 3rd. 
 
Please visit our City’s website www.statesboroga.gov for more information.   
 
The city does not anticipate any delay in the sending of tax bills, which will occur the third week of October.
