Notice of Property Tax Increase
The City of Pooler, Georgia has tentatively adopted a millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes by 3.99 percent. All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearings on this tax increase to be held at Pooler City Hall located at 100 US Highway 80 SW, Pooler, Georgia on Monday, July 15, 2024 at 6:00 p.m., Monday, July 22 at 6:00 p.m., and Monday, August 12, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. After the final public hearing, the millage rate will be formally adopted on August 12, 2024 during the Special Called City Council Meeting. (Final public hearing and adoption date revised under emergency conditions.)
This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 3.780 mills, an increase of .145 mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 3.635 mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $175,000 is approximately $10 and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with a fair market value of $200,000 is approximately $16.
It’s important to note that while the percentage does not reflect an additional increase to the 2023 millage rate of 3.780, it is an increase to the rollback rate of 3.635 mills. The rollback rate is the millage rate that, when applied to the current year’s digest, will result in the same total revenue from property taxes as the previous year, excluding new growth.

Please note that the above notice includes two corrections to the initial notice advertised in the Savannah Morning News: The previously stated 4.31 percentage has been amended. The August 19, 2024 public hearing has been rescheduled for July 22, 2024.
Please note that the final public hearing and adoption date has been rescheduled for August 12, 2024 under emergency conditions related to weather.
