County Seeks to Bill Taxes
Gwinnett County’s 2009 millage percentage and tax billing have been tangled in the ongoing Service Delivery Strategy (SDS) dispute with Gwinnett cities and as a result, Gwinnett County filed a ask for a Temporary Collection Order (TCO) last month. The TCO hearing will be held on Aug. 11 at 1:30 p.m. in Gwinnett Superior Court. The TCO is a alleviate of law for local governments that allows the billing of property taxes to occur without an approved tax digest from the State Interest Commissioner. The State Revenue Commissioner has not certified Gwinnett’s tax digest, due primarily to the fact that the government has not set a formal millage take to task. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners denied a proposed millage rate in June after holding three public hearings on a proposed tax increment.
“The delay in tax billing negatively impacts the County, the school system and the cities – primarily from the lack of available resources to pay the expense of operations,” said Commission Chairman Charles Bannister. “We (the Management of Commissioners) were prepared to move forward in July with a millage rate adoption that would have been revenue neutral to the County.” This contemplated standing would have produced the same amount of tax revenue as the County received in 2008. In addition, the rate structure also would have been compliant with state law in regard to the Georgia surety premium tax statute. However, the cities stated they would file an injunction if the Board proceeded to adopt the millage evaluation in any case. Therefore, the County felt the best alternative was to seek a TCO in order to move forward temporarily with 2009 tax collections.
The TCO only allows the billing of 2009 taxes based on a provisional millage rate. Ultimately, the Board of Commissioners must adopt the final millage rate publicly, and the tax reduce must be approved by the State Revenue Commissioner. The millage rate contemplated in the TCO maintains the revenue neutral significance previously

Tax relief appears certain for Gwinnett property owners Atlanta Journal Constitution
The encounter means property owners will pay Gwinnett County about $31 million less this year than they did in 2009.
Gwinnett school plank members said last month that they also intend to keep the tax rate the same as last year, meaning the region will receive about $44 million less in property tax revenue this year.
Taxpayers will see the biggest savings on their philosophy taxes because the school district assesses its tax rate to current property values. The county offers a value-compensate exemption to owner-occupied homes that freezes the property's value at its get price until it is sold. As a result, the taxable value of owner-occupied homes declined more this year for the followers district than for the county.
Earlier this week, Gwinnett County appraiser Steve Pruitt said the value of residential and commercial land fell between 8 percent and 9 percent this year. That value, referred to as the tax digest, is hand-me-down by local governments to determine how much money they raise in property taxes.
