Cornelia removes property tax rate cap
The law removes Cornelia’s property tax rate cap, affecting owners of taxable property within the city. The city commission sets the tax rate, due date, and payment period by ordinance. It may allow installment payments, a single lump-sum payment, or voluntary payments before the due date. The law itself sets no new rate or due date and does not automatically raise tax bills.
