Week of July 15, 2013 Millage meetings canceled; millage rate to be reduced Because of the Cobb Board of Commissioners' plan to reduce the millage rate, two advertised millage meetings on July 16 have been canceled. At the Tuesday, July 23, commission meeting, Chairman Tim Lee will propose a decrease in the county millage rate. The rate determines how much a property owner pays in annual property taxes. This millage decrease is the first step in a five year commitment to reduce property taxes. The reduction is possible because the local economy continues to improve and tight spending controls within the county budget. The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the BOC Room on the second floor of 100 Cherokee Street, Marietta.
