Henry County Manager Cherie Hobson-Matthews discusses the fiscal
year 2022 budget with the Board of Commissioners Monday
morning.
McDONOUGH â It appears a suggested increase to the countyâs millage rate may not happen due to lack of support from the Henry County Board of Commissioners.
The proposed 1-mill increase, worth about $8 million, was recommended by county staff during the March 30 fiscal year 2022 budget workshop. A millage increase would result in higher property taxes.
The rate increase could allow the county to accommodate all requests, largely for personnel, made by the public safety cluster, which includes Henry County Police, Fire Department and Sheriffâs Office.
