Georgia Now update
Newton County will hold a final millage-rate hearing August 4
Newton County adopted a $180.1 million FY 2027 budget using an estimated 8.56-mill rate, unchanged from the prior year but above the calculated rollback rate because the tax digest increased. A final public hearing is scheduled August 4 at 6:30 p.m.

Why it matters
An unchanged nominal rate can still increase revenue and individual tax bills when assessed values rise; residents need property-level examples tied to the services funded.
