No Property Tax Increase In Peachtree City for FY 2010!!

Hey Peachtree City…City Council recently voted by a margin of 3 to 2 not to increase property taxes for fiscal year 2010!  However, Council did agree to increase the millage rate to 5.711 mils.  The increase in the millage rate would prevent the usage of cash reserves for the FY 2010 budget.  Just in case you are wondering were the money is going….approximately 16.5% is headed to Peachtree City, 67.2% goes to Fayette County School Board, 15.5% goes to Fayette County and 0.7% goes to the State.  Three public hearing were scheduled (as required by law) to advertise the increases.
