NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX INCREASE

The City of Smyrna has tentatively adopted a 2026 millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes by 1.77 percent.

 All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearing on this tax increase to be held at 2800 King Street SE, Smyrna, Georgia, Smyrna City Hall Council Chambers on Monday, July 13, 2026 at 6:00 pm.

 Times and places of additional public hearings on this tax increase are at 2800 King Street SE, Smyrna, Georgia, Smyrna City Hall Council Chambers on Monday, July 20, 2026 at 8:30 AM and at 7:00 PM.

This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 8.990 mills, an increase of .156 mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 8.834 mills. The proposed tax increase for a homestead property with a fair market value of $525,000 is approximately $31.20 and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with a fair market value of $800,000 is approximately $49.92.
