Notice of Property Tax Increase

The City of Lookout Mountain, Georgia, has tentatively adopted a millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes by 1.22%.

All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearing on this tax increase to be held at City Hall, 1214 Lula Lake Road, Lookout Mountain, Georgia 30750, on Thursday, October 2, 2025, at 6:00 p.m.

Times and places of additional public hearings on this tax increase are at the City Hall on October 16, 2025, at 8:00 a.m., and October 16, 2025, at 6:00 p.m.  The public hearing on October 16 at 6:00 p.m. will be combined with a meeting of the Lookout Mountain City Council at which the City Council will be setting the millage rate.

This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 6.200 mills, an increase of .075 mills.  Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 6.125 mills.  The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $550,000.00 with a homestead exemption is approximately $16.35, and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with a fair market value of $300,000.00 is approximately $9.00.

This notice supersedes and replaces the Notice of Property Tax Increase previously published by the City of Lookout Mountain.  Due to the unavailability of some City Council members on October 9, 2025, the final two public hearings and the City Council meeting at which the 2025 millage rate will be set have been changed from October 9 to October 16, 2025.
