City Statesboro logo
Going into Tuesday’s budget hearing, Statesboro city officials intend to leave the property tax millage rate unchanged but are proposing to increase water and sewer fees and charge a new fee when people pay their bills by credit card. The 10 a.m. public hearing on the proposed fiscal year 2017 budget is slated to follow Tuesday’s regular 9 a.m. City Council meeting at City Hall. The city’s proposed general fund for the budget year beginning July 1 has revenues and expenditures balanced at a little over $14.55 million, increasing from a little less than $14.1 million in the current year.
