Dunwoody Says 2026 Property-Tax Rate Will Stay Flat
Dunwoody says it will keep its 2026 municipal property-tax rate flat, giving property owners and city officials a stated direction for the next tax year while leaving the formal next step unresolved.
The City of Dunwoody announced the decision in a city-news item posted July 31, 2026. The action concerns Dunwoody’s municipal taxation and public finance. It is not a countywide or statewide tax decision.
For the city, the announcement is part of planning for municipal revenue and operations. For property owners, it establishes that Dunwoody is not announcing an increase to its 2026 tax rate, but it does not provide enough information to determine how an individual tax bill will change.
What the city has announced
A flat rate means the city intends to maintain the same rate rather than raise it for 2026. The approved city material does not state the millage-rate percentage, identify the 2025 rate for comparison, or provide a projected revenue figure.
It also does not include a dollar estimate for a typical Dunwoody property. Without those details, residents cannot use the announcement alone to calculate what they may owe.
A flat tax rate should not be treated as a guarantee that every property-tax bill will remain unchanged. Assessed property values can change, which can affect the amount due even when the rate itself is flat. The available material does not establish the expected bill impact for any specific property owner.
Formal adoption is not confirmed
The city’s announcement states that Dunwoody will keep the 2026 rate flat, but the approved information does not identify a final vote or resolution formally adopting the rate.
That distinction matters because a public announcement of the city’s intended rate is not the same as documentation confirming that the rate has completed the formal approval process. The packet does not say that the rate has been finally adopted.
Next public checkpoint
The Dunwoody City Council is scheduled to meet Aug. 10, 2026, at 6 p.m. The meeting is listed for Dunwoody City Hall and is the next known public-government checkpoint connected to the city’s tax-rate process.
The city calendar says the meeting agenda and Zoom viewing link will be posted closer to the meeting date. The available listing does not establish whether the Aug. 10 meeting will include a final millage vote, other tax-related business, or another stage of the process.
What residents can watch for
The agenda and viewing information should clarify what action the council expects to take. A later agenda, vote or resolution could also provide the rate percentage and other details that are not included in the initial announcement.
Until those details are available, the flat-rate announcement provides a policy direction but not a complete tax-bill forecast. Residents can use the Aug. 10 meeting as the next opportunity to follow whether the stated plan moves toward formal adoption and whether the city releases additional financial information.
The decision is locally significant because the property-tax rate is tied to Dunwoody’s municipal revenue planning. At the same time, the city’s available information leaves the rate percentage, projected revenue effect and individual taxpayer impact unspecified.
