Suwanee residents may continue paying the same city property tax rate that they have been paying for the last decade.
The City Council is set to vote on keeping the city’s millage rate at 4.93 mills on Aug. 22. That is the same city millage rate that Suwanee has had for the last 11 years. Suwanee officials said keeping the same millage rate will result in an 8.95% property tax increase because of market value growth. In other words, the rate is staying the same, but increases in property values — which the rate is applied against — means property owners will owe more money.
