On Tuesday the Gwinnett Board of Commissioners adopted the same general fund millage rate as last year: 6.95 mills.

Prior to the vote, the commissioners received public comments online and at three in-person public hearings.

Property taxes are based on millage rates set by county government, school systems, and cities. One mill equals a dollar tax per thousand dollars of assessed property value.

The Gwinnett County Tax Assessor calculates the total value of all taxable property in the county by conducting annual updates of residential and commercial property values.

Most homeowners in Gwinnett benefit from the value offset exemption, which holds the assessed value of a property constant for the county tax portion of the bill, even if there is an increase in property value. This means those homeowners will not see an increase in the county government portion of their tax bill.

“The County’s commitment to fiscal responsibility is a shared partnership with our residents, ensuring we can navigate these economic challenges together while continuing to build and maintain a strong community,” said Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson. “By holding the rate steady for the sixth consecutive year, we have been, and will continue delivering the high-quality government services our residents depend on.”

The 2025 total property tax millage rate for property owners in unincorporated Gwinnett County will be 14.71. The millage rates for special service districts and countywide levies for recreation and economic development also remain unchanged from last year. Millage rates for service districts in Gwinnett are based on property location and county services provided, such as police, fire and emergency medical services, and code enforcement.

Details on the 2025 millage rate and additional information about how property taxes are calculated are available online.

Tuesday’s action paved the way for the Tax Commissioner’s Office to mail property tax bills in September. Payments are due in November. Property owners or mortgage lenders can make payments by mail, online, in person at the main tax office, or by using one of the special drop boxes located at tag offices.
