Millage Reduction

The chart provides example millage values to show how FLOST can reduce the millage rate. City millage cannot go below zero; if a city’s rollback would be negative, the excess returns to the County to further reduce its rate.

Example Values (from the chart):

• White County: Base 8.948 → Reduction 4.478 → Billable After 4.470

• City of Cleveland: Base 5.056 → Reduction 5.056 → Billable After 0.000

• City of Helen: Base 3.782 → Reduction 3.782 → Billable After 0.000

How to Read These Examples

• “Base” is the general fund millage before applying FLOST

• “Reduction” is the amount offset by FLOST proceeds

• “Billable After” is the millage rate after the rollback is applied

Important Notes

• Numbers are illustrative; actual rates depend on collections, distributions, and adopted budgets

• Cities cannot have negative millage; excess rollback returns to the County
