Victory: Council Votes 3 to 2 to Deny On September 21, the City Council voted 3 to 2 to deny Rock City's proposed zoning amendment. After nearly two hours of deliberation focused on the community's long-term wellbeing, they sided with the Planning Commission and with the more than 1,137 neighbors who spoke up. Thank you to everyone who showed up, wrote letters, and wore red. The work isn't over, but this is a real win.
About these figures
This page covers property tax paid to the City of Lookout Mountain, Georgia specifically. It does not include county or state property taxes paid by Rock City, which would be paid to Walker County and to the State of Georgia respectively.
Rock City also owns additional parcels in Walker County that are outside the City of Lookout Mountain, Georgia city limits. Those parcels do not generate property tax revenue for the City, though they may generate revenue for Walker County.
What this page does not show
Other business taxes paid by any specific business are not public under Georgia law. That includes sales tax, alcohol excise tax, business license tax, and similar per-business taxes. The City of Lookout Mountain, Georgia's aggregate revenue from those categories is public in its budget and audit documents, but Rock City's specific contribution to those categories is not something residents can verify directly.
