SUMMARY: Richmond Hill City Council voted to roll back the millage rate from the proposed 4.132 to 3.981, avoiding a nearly 4% property tax increase. This decision followed several public hearings where residents expressed concerns about rising housing costs and the impact of higher property taxes on affordability. Critics questioned the city’s spending, citing funds tied up in unused land and city hall renovations amid infrastructure issues. Georgia law requires public hearings for maintaining or increasing millage rates. Mayor Russ Carpenter emphasized careful financial planning to balance taxpayer relief with maintaining essential city services.
