GA SB615

Municipalities created by local Act on or after January 1, 2022 must continue receiving police services from the county as long as property owners pay county property taxes, with no separate charges allowed to the municipality for these services

Counties cannot raise general fund millage rates for qualified municipality property owners at rates inconsistent with those paid by unincorporated property owners

Counties may create special service districts for police funding, but the rate must apply equally to property owners in both the qualified municipality and the county

Qualified municipalities are prohibited from taking control of stormwater infrastructure (500+ gallons capacity), dams, or detention ponds that were previously county-managed, unless they provide notice by resolution

Qualified municipalities may elect to continue receiving county water and sewer services at the same fees charged to unincorporated residents, and any agreements requiring municipalities to accept detention ponds as a condition of receiving utility services are void
