The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) awarded AdventHealth Redmond with Level 3 Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation (GEDA).
The company that Chattooga County hired to help with property tax assessments was in Chattooga County on Wednesday to talk with the local board of assessors. GMASS was paid $65,000 by the county, but now it appears that many of the property tax assessments are incorrect. There have been over 3,100 property tax assessment appeals and just how all those appeals will be handled remains to be seen. The county’s tax digest can’t be approved until 92% of the appeals have been heard. The deadline for the county’s tax digest is tomorrow, but Chattooga County Tax Commissioner Joy Hampton says that she was able to get an extension for the county until October 1st. All of this could mean that the final date 2023 property taxes are due in Chattooga County could be in 2024.
Chattooga County government relies on property tax to fund county operations. Normally, taxes are collected on December 1st, but that won’t be the case this year.
Chattooga County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a call from Summerville Trade Day about a juvenile that has been damaging bathrooms. According to a report released this week by the sheriff’s office, the owners of Trade Day have video footage of the juvenile damaging the bathroom door knobs. On the video, the juvenile can be seen using a rock to damage the door knobs – for no apparent reason. According to the report, it is an ongoing problem. A responding deputy was able to identify the juvenile in the video as a person living in nearby Fields Walk. The video was turned over to an investigator with the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office and more patrols have been ordered for both day and nighttime hours in the vicinity.
