The Oconee County Board of Commissioners is scheduled on Tuesday (July 28) to hold its first public hearing on its proposed property tax rates for 2026, which will produce an increase of $788,134 in new revenue, or a gain of 4.95 percent from last year.
The proposed millage rate for the majority of county properties–those in the unincorporated parts of the county–is slightly lower than it was in 2025.
