Why was a 9.5% property tax increase on the table in Woodstock?

A specific percentage figure like the one circulating for Woodstock is not something this site can verify against a dated, sourced record, so it will not be restated as fact. What is true every year is that Cherokee County, the city and the school district each set their own millage rate, and any of the three can propose a change that raises the total bill on an unchanged assessed value. Public hearings on proposed millage rates are open to residents before a final vote. Check Cherokee County's own announcements for the current, verified figure.
