Concerned Citizens To Distribute Free Tax Appeal Forms Saturday In Downtown Summerville

A group of concerned citizens plans to be in Downtown Summerville on Saturday, August 15, handing out free tax appeal forms to residents who may not be able to obtain one during regular weekday office hours.

The group says it plans to set up in front of the Chattooga County Commissioner’s Office beginning around 8 to 8:30 a.m. and remain there until at least 1 p.m., depending on the heat.

Organizers say motorists will be able to slow down and receive a form through their vehicle window or pull over and park. They are asking everyone to use caution so the distribution does not create a traffic or safety issue.

The group says residents can also obtain an appeal form directly from the tax office, where staff can print a form with identifying information already filled in. Taxpayers would then only need to enter the value they believe is appropriate, provide a reason for the appeal and sign the form.

Appeal forms can also be printed at home by those with internet and printer access.

Organizers say the purpose of Saturday’s distribution is to provide another option for residents who may not be able to visit the tax office during normal weekday business hours.

The group is also inviting others to join them Saturday to help hand out forms and potentially cover both sides of the street.

Trion, Chattooga Meet Tonight In Annual Preseason Football Scrimmage

High school football returns to Chattooga County tonight as the Trion Bulldogs and Chattooga Indians square off in their 2026 preseason scrimmage.

Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. tonight, Friday, August 14, at Chattooga High School in Summerville.

The annual preseason matchup gives both programs an opportunity to see their players in game conditions before the 2026 regular season gets underway. Coaches will have a chance to evaluate returning starters, younger players stepping into larger roles and newcomers competing for positions as both teams make their final preparations for games that count.
