The City of Bremen Board of Education today announces its intention to increase the 2025 property taxes it will levy this year by 22.97 percent for city parcels in Haralson County over the rollback millage rate.
Each year, the board of tax assessors is required to review the assessed value for property tax purposes of taxable property in the city. When the trend of prices on properties that have recently sold in the city indicates there has been an increase in the fair market value of any specific property, the board of tax assessors is required by law to re-determine the value of such property and adjust the assessment. This is called a reassessment.
When the total digest of taxable property is prepared, Georgia law requires that a rollback millage rate must be computed that will produce the same total revenue on the current year’s digest that last year’s millage rate would have produced had no reassessments occurred.
The millage rate tentatively adopted by the City of Bremen Board of Education will be 13.50 mills, a 1.45 mill reduction from last year. Before the City of Bremen Board of Education may set a final millage rate that is higher than the rollback rate, Georgia law requires three public hearings to be held to allow the public an opportunity to express their opinions on the increase.
All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearings on this tax increase to be held at the Bremen Board of Education, 501 Pacific Avenue, Bremen, GA, on September 25, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., October 3, 2025, at 7:00 a.m., and October 13, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. The millage rate will be set on October 13, 2025, at 6:30 p.m.
