After a public meeting, the Lookout Mountain, Ga., Council passed the fiscal year 2021-2022 budget on first reading. There will be no property tax increase this year. Property reassessments are currently being done and the values are increasing, but Mayor David Bennett said the millage rate will be lowered so people will not see an increase in their taxes.
The city will be receiving around $500,000 divided between the next two years that will come from the Federal Cares Act which is providing the money to state and local governments to help them recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
