How Property Taxes Work in Sugar Hill
Sugar Hill is an incorporated city within Gwinnett County. Property owners in Sugar Hill typically pay three layers of property tax:
- Gwinnett County government tax — set by the Board of Commissioners
- Gwinnett County school tax — set by the Gwinnett County Board of Education (typically the largest component)
- Sugar Hill municipal tax — set by the Sugar Hill City Council
All three rates are expressed as millage rates (mills), where one mill equals $1 per $1,000 of assessed value. Georgia law sets the assessment ratio at 40% of fair market value. See our property tax calculation guide for the full formula.
