Summary

After public comment about how the fire fee is applied, Long County commissioners voted 5-0 to waive any additional 2024 fees other than the $150 Fire Safety Fee on property tax bills.

Long County commissioners voted unanimously on Nov. 12, 2024 to waive any additional fees on the 2024 property tax bills beyond the $150 Fire Safety Fee.

Emma Strickland raised a public concern that the fire fee was being applied per dwelling rather than per tax parcel. Following that comment, Commissioner Robert Parker moved to waive any additional fees other than the $150 Fire Safety Fee on the 2024 Long County property tax bills; Commissioner John Reddish seconded. The motion passed 5-0.

The minutes do not specify whether staff will follow up with a formal correction to billing calculations for multi-dwelling parcels; the motion as recorded applies to 2024 tax bills only.
