In 2023, the city lowered the millage rate from 3.80 mils to 3.69 mils, the first rollback in 16 years. In 2024, the millage rate was lowered from 3.69 mils to 3.50 mils. Combined with the increased city homestead exemption from $2,000 to $10,000, Sugar Hill property owners saw a reduction in their city property taxes. For 2025, the city has tentatively adopted the same millage rate as 2024 (3.50 mils).
The proposed 2025 tax increase for a homestead property with an average fair market value of $475,000, is $26.98 per year, or $2.24 per month. The proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with an average fair market value of $500,000, is approximately $28.40 per year, or $2.36 per month.
