Hall votes to not hike taxes, give staff a 3 percent raise | GainesvilleTimes.com

The Hall County Board of Commissioners voted 4-1 Thursday night to approve a $90.268 million budget for the 2015 fiscal year that includes a full rollback of the property tax rate.

Commissioner Craig Lutz cast the lone dissent on the budget, though he did vote to set the tax rate at 5.989 mills.

A mill represents $1 for each $1,000 of property value, which is assessed at 40 percent in the county.

“It’s been an interesting process to put this budget together, to come up with a revenue-neutral, no-tax-increase type budget,” said Chairman Richard Mecum.
