In recognition of the economic pressures facing our community, Pooler City Council will consider adopting the full rollback millage rate for tax year 2026, lowering the millage rate from 4.197 mills to 4.096 mills to provide meaningful property tax relief to residents. The rollback rate is designed to offset increases in assessed property values and prevent a property tax increase resulting solely from reassessment growth. As required by Georgia law, the rollback rate is intended to generate approximately the same maintenance and operations revenue from existing properties as was collected in the prior year.
Pooler continues to experience significant residential and commercial growth, expanding the City’s tax base and helping support critical municipal services, including public safety, transportation, drainage infrastructure, parks, and recreation. The adopted millage rate remains below Pooler’s 40-year historical average and reflects the City’s continued commitment to balancing the needs of a growing community with fiscal responsibility, maintaining financial stability, investing in essential services, and reducing reliance on debt financing.
City Council will consider adoption of the rate at a City Council Meeting on Monday, July 6, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at Pooler City Hall, 100 US Highway 80 SW, Pooler, Georgia 31322. The public is invited to attend.
