Perhaps you missed this budget news during the summer… At a special called meeting on July 9, the Gwinnett County Board of Education (BOE) adopted a slightly lower millage rate to support the Fiscal Year 2020 Budget. During the budget-setting process, the Board indicated that the adopted budget would not require an increase in the millage rate. In light of projected growth in the property tax digest, the Gwinnett BOE approved a slight decrease in the millage rate, resulting in maintenance and operations (M&O) and debt-service millage rates of 19.70 and 1.90, respectively. This is down from last year's rates of 19.80 and 1.95.
