How these numbers are made
- Property tax: Georgia assesses a home at 40% of fair market value. A home in Doraville pays 14.013 mills to DeKalb County (10.684 general, 2.627 fire, 0.702 hospital), 22.78 mills to the DeKalb County School District (proposed 2026 rate) and 9 mills to the City of Doraville. Homestead exemptions, the E-HOST credit, the City's homestead relief and DeKalb's assessment freeze are not modeled, so homesteaded owners usually pay less than shown.
- The starting home value is the Census median value of owner-occupied housing units in Doraville (2020-2024), a market value.
- Water and sewer use DeKalb County's rate sheet effective January 1, 2026: water $3.64 a month plus tiered charges for a 3/4-inch meter; sewer $8.84 a month plus $14.54 per 1,000 gallons used. The County has not published a typical household use here, so the page starts at its default.
- Doraville left DeKalb County sanitation for Waste Pro on June 2, 2025. No trash fee or billing method was found in the City's or Waste Pro's pages, so no trash cost is included in the total; if a fee applies, the total is higher. Recycling is optional.
- Electricity uses Georgia Power's R-31 rate with eight months at the October-May rate and four at the June-September tiers, fuel (3.8561 and 3.8069 cents per kWh), environmental compliance (13.0205%) and demand-side management (1.1969%) riders, at EIA's 2024 Georgia average of 1,074 kWh a month. The municipal franchise fee is not included because Doraville's rate was not found. Gas is left out. Insurance is the 2022 Georgia average and may be below current premiums.
- Water rates are DeKalb County's Jan 1, 2026 sheet for a 3/4-inch meter; Georgia Power is assumed as Doraville's electric provider; dropped unsupported facts (sewer sheet, R-31, school mills, recycling/bulk details).
- Water rates (Jan 1 2026, 3/4-inch meter, metered-volume tiers per 1,000 gal) are from DeKalb's 2026 sheet.
