Notes & disclosures

Read these before quoting a figure — they record where the city’s own documents differ, and which document governs.

  1. The budget book is the adopted budget, despite its letterhead. The Manager’s Message letter inside the adopted budget book is headed “2026 Proposed Budget” (November 7, 2025), but the book is the adopted budget — its ordinance was ratified by City Council on January 13, 2026.
  2. Property taxes: the ordinance figure governs. The budget’s highlights page says property tax revenues are “budgeted at $0” — the traditional millage levy, replaced by the new 1% FLOST sales tax from January 1, 2026. The adopted ordinance, however, budgets $1,905,000 across all property-tax categories, including vehicle title ad valorem tax. That is the figure used on this page.
  3. Two population figures in the ACFR. The ACFR’s transmittal letter gives 2025 population as 45,867, while its statistical tables give 46,324. This page uses 46,324.
  4. SPLOST 2025 composition. The city’s SPLOST 2025 appropriation is $13,089,850 for capital projects plus a $1,000,000 transfer to Newnan Utilities — $14,089,850 total, the all-funds figure used here. One schedule in the budget book prints figures $200 lower.
  5. No bonded debt. The city has no bonded debt; its only long-term liabilities are the net pension liability ($16,140,342) and compensated absences ($1,822,975), totaling $17,963,317.
