City Council cuts Aiken millage rate to 71 from 79
The Aiken City Council voted 4 to 1 to reduce the millage rate from 79 to 71 mills after a county property reassessment. City Manager Roger LeDuc said homeowners not seeing major property improvements should not be surprised by tax bills, and most will see a reduction near current levels. The council also set Jan 15 as the due date for the 2001-2002 taxes with increasing late fees through March 6.
