The City of Homerville, located in southeast Georgia, is a small rural, beautiful, and unique community. It is located at the intersection of US Highway 441 and US Highway 84.

The Homerville City Council has tentatively adopted a millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes by 29 percent. All concerened citizens are invited to the public hearing on this tax increase to be held at City Hall Council Chambers on Dec. 29, 2025 at 9:00am and 2:00pm.

Times and places of additional public hearings on this tax increase are at City Hall Council Chambers on Jan. 5, 2026 at 6:00pm. This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 11.5 mills, an increase of 2.585 mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 8.915 mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $100,000 is approximately $98.23 and the proposed tax increase for nonhomestead property with a fair market value of $300,000 is approximately $310.20.
