What a Butts County home really costs in property tax: the 2025 millage, Georgia's 40% assessment rule, and the exemptions that lower the bill. Unincorporated Butts County levies total about 21.95 mills.
Butts County is part of Momentum's Georgia coverage through the Georgia MLS (GAMLS), which we carry statewide. Its 2025 digest rates: county maintenance & operations 10.459 mills, schools 11.486 mills; unincorporated parcels also carry hospital 1.000 mills. Inside a city the city's own millage applies instead of some unincorporated levies: Flovilla 0.000, Jenkinsburg 0.000. All figures are from the Georgia Department of Revenue's 2025 County Ad Valorem Tax Digest.
Georgia's homestead exemption reduces the assessed value each levy taxes. The statewide base exemption is modest, but counties and cities layer their own - senior, veteran, floating, and school-tax exemptions differ across all nine counties here. File once with the Butts County Tax Commissioner by April 1 and it renews while you own and occupy the home.
