Milton City Council Approves Millage Rate
The property tax rate stays the same for city residents.
Milton residents don't have to worry about their millage rate changing, as that would require approval by registered voters. City Council hasn't even suggested a vote.
The collection rate for taxes in 2011 is expected to be 87 percent, said Finance Director Stacey Inglis at the Milton City Council meeting on Monday, Aug. 15.
"There's a collection rate of 87 percent?" said City Councilman Joe Longoria. "Is that a trend?"

"The collection rate will stay about the same," Inglis said.
"Eighty seven percent is what you expect to collect this year, but ninety nine percent is what you'd like to collect eventually?" Karen Thurman, another council member said, and Inglis said that this was correct.
