Fayette tax hearings set Fayette County tomorrow will have the first of three required public hearings on property tax rates for 2001. The tax rates will remain virtually the same for this year as they were last year, but because of reassessments of property values, the county is expecting a 6.1 percent hike in revenues, so public hearings are required. The rate for unincorporated Fayette County will be 10.418 mills. A mill is one dollar per thousand dollars of a home's assessed value. Assessed value is 40 percent of market value minus any exemptions. Tax rates in Fayetteville and Peachtree City will be 7.585, and for Brooks, Tyrone and Woolsey 11.363. The unincorporated county rate and those in Brooks, Tyrone and Woolsey include a 3.75-mill tax for fire protection. The first hearing is tomorrow, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. in the public meeting room of the Fayette County Administrative Complex, 140 Stonewall Ave. West, Fayetteville. Hearings also are set Sept. 27 at 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. Following the 7 p.m. hearing the Board of Commissioners is expected to adopt the tax rates. Public comment and questions will be invited at all three hearings. Dave Hamrick
