Tax rates across cities show Blue Ridge highest in state
Eastman Hustler reports Blue Ridge in Fannin County leads Georgia with a tax rate of 19 per thousand, up from 10 last year, while Vienna stands as the state’s second highest at 16.50. Other cities range from 7.50 in Jefferson to 18.88 in Cordele and 18.90 in Sandersville. The paper laments the high burden and bonds funding water works and electric plant, warning of a “bold day” in August if taxes rise further and urging restraint to enable school and city improvements.
