Dunwoody keeps the tax rate flat for 2025

Dunwoody, GA – June 5, 2025 – Today, the City of Dunwoody issued a state-required press release in the format prescribed by the Georgia Department of Revenue. The city is issuing this separate press release concurrent with the required one (linked here) to give context that the state one does not allow.

The City of Dunwoody is proposing to keep its millage rate the same at 3.040 mills for 2025.  The tax rate for 2025 will also include a one-mill reduction for all homestead properties, lowering the effective rate to 2.040. The city will continue to freeze assessed values for those same properties. 

These combined exemptions mean that no homestead property will see a city tax bill increase this year. The state press release infers that there will be a tax increase for these properties. Tax increases will happen for commercial properties and non-homesteaded residential properties, such as rental properties, with higher assessed values.

The City of Dunwoody has scheduled three public hearings on the 2025 millage rate at Dunwoody City Hall, 4800 Ashford Dunwoody Rd:

• Monday, June 16, 2025, at 8 a.m.
• Monday, June 16, 2025, at 6 p.m.
• Monday, June 30, 2025, at 6 p.m.

State law requires the value of assessments to be shown against last year’s values even if the City has a hard property assessment freeze. Due to an increase in DeKalb County’s reevaluation of real property tax assessments, the City has filed a notice of a

3.61 percent increase in property taxes using the same 3.040 millage rate as 2023 and 2024.
