Edwards seeks comment on taxes

Fulton County District 7 Commissioner William "Bill" Edwards will host a town hall meeting next week regarding Fulton County's proposed 2001 property tax rates.

The session will be Monday at the Quality Living Services, 4001 Danforth Road, Atlanta, at 7 p.m.

The proposed 2001 tax rates, approved by the Board of Commissioners May 16, are less than those in the current year.

Those rates are 13.04 mills for the general fund, a reduction of .27 mills; .3 mills for the bond fund, a reduction of .08 mills; and 4.7 mills for the Special Services District fund, a reduction of .06 mills.

A mill is one dollar per thousand dollars of a home's assessed value. Assessed value is the home's market value, minus any exemptions.

The Fulton County Board of Commissioners is expected to set the County's millage rates on Wednesday, June 20, 2001
