Budget Season
The City of Lilburn is preparing for its 2025-2026 Budget, and we want you to be part of the discussion! For over a decade, the city has maintained a millage rate of 4.43 mills to fund essential services like Police, Public Works, Parks, Zoning and Code Enforcement. With growing service demands and ongoing Economic Development efforts, a potential increase in the millage rate may be considered.
Join us at the City Council Work Session on Monday, May 12th at 6:30 p.m. at Lilburn City Hall to learn more about how these decisions impact public safety, infrastructure and community growth. The final budget vote will take place in June—stay engaged and make your voice heard!
