The City of Roswell is proposing its millage rate for fiscal year 2008-2009 to remain at 5.657 mills. 

Revenues in the proposed budget are projected to increase 11 percent or $11,572,700 for a total of $117,326,387. Expenditures are projected to increase 12 percent or $12,050,611 for a total budget of $116,472,303. The increase in revenue will primarily be spent on public safety and transportation.

The typical Roswell property tax bill on a $300,000 home would remain $678.84.

Roswell Mayor and Council will hold three public hearings at City Hall in Council Chambers on the proposed budget: June 2 at 7:30 p.m., June 9 at 6:30 p.m., and the final reading and vote on June 16 at 7:30 p.m.
