The City of Sugar Hill has tentatively adopted a millage rate of 3.5 mils. Without this tentative tax increase of 2.10%, the millage rate would be no more than 3.428 mils.
The increase in revenue over 2025, using the current millage rate of 3.5 mils, is the result of the reassessment of property values by the Gwinnett County Board of Tax Assessors, new construction added to the city tax digest over the last year, as well as increased exemptions to the city’s digest, (such as increased homestead exemptions), not an actual increase in the millage rate.
The proposed tax increase for a homestead property in the city with an average fair market value of $525,000, at the proposed millage rate of 3.5, is $ 700 per year and the proposed tax increase for a non-homestead property with an average fair market value of $525,000, at the proposed millage rate of 3.5, is also approximately $735 per year.
