Warner Robins, Georgia - The City of Warner Robins is providing residents and property owners with information regarding the City’s proposed 2026 millage rate of 10.000 mills and the anticipated impact on property owners.
For the 2025 tax billing year, the City of Warner Robins millage rate was set at 8.953 mills. The proposed 2026 millage rate of 10.000 mills represents an increase of 1.047 mills over the 2025 rate.
The millage rate is one component used to calculate property taxes. An individual property owner’s tax bill may vary based on the assessed value of the property, applicable exemptions and changes in the property’s value.
For 2026, the proposed 10.000-mill rate represents a 12.74% increase over the rollback millage rate for City of Warner Robins property owners in Houston County and a 16.12% increase over the rollback millage rate for City of Warner Robins property owners in Peach County.
What Does this Mean for Property Owners?
To provide residents with a clearer understanding of the potential impact of the proposed rate, the City has prepared the following examples based on non-homesteaded properties. The figures below represent the estimated increase in City property taxes compared with the prior year:
Fair Market Value | Property Type | Estimated Increase Over 2025 |
$100,000 | Non-Homestead | $42.96 |
$225,000 | Non-Homestead | $96.66 |
$400,000 | Non-Homestead | $171.84 |
$750,000 | Non-Homestead | $322.20 |
For example, based on these illustrations, a non-homesteaded property with a fair market value of $400,000 would see an estimated annual increase of $171.84 in City property taxes under the proposed 10.000-mill rate.
These examples are provided for informational purposes and are intended to illustrate the potential change in City property taxes. Individual tax bills may differ based on assessed property value, exemptions, changes in property value and other factors.
Understanding the Millage Rate
The City recognizes that property taxes are an important consideration for residents, property owners and businesses. The millage rate is established annually as part of the City’s budget and tax process and is used to generate revenue necessary to provide essential municipal services and maintain the programs and infrastructure that serve the Warner Robins community.
The proposed 2026 rate of 10.000 mills reflects a 1.047-mill increase from the 2025 rate of 8.953 mills. The City is providing this information in advance of the public hearings to help property owners understand both the proposed rate and the potential financial impact.
