The
Board of Public Education for the City of Savannah and the County of Chatham
has tentatively adopted a 2019 millage rate which will require an increase in property
taxes by 3.27 percent. All concerned citizens are invited to the public
hearings on this tax increase to be held at the Jessie Collier DeLoach Board
Room of the Whitney Administrative Complex, 2 Laura Avenue, Savannah, Georgia
on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 at 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM.
Times
and places of additional public hearings on this tax increase are at the Jessie
Collier DeLoach Board Room of the Whitney Administrative Complex, 2 Laura Avenue,
Savannah, Georgia on Wednesday, June 19, 2019 at 6:00 PM. This tentative increase will result in a
millage rate of 18.881 mills, which is no increase in mills. Without this tentative
tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 18.284 mills. The proposed
tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $187,500 is approximately
$44.78 and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with a fair
market value of $250,000 is approximately $59.70.
The
2019-20 Budget will serve as the key operating plan for the school district
that now serves more than 37,000 students. This budget will continue the
district’s focus to deliver high quality educational services where all
children are learning at high levels.
All
concerned citizens are invited to the public hearings on this tax increase.

the tentative millage rate, please call the Board Office at (912) 395-5534 or
