The Charlton County Board of Education has tentatively adopted a millage rate, which will require an increase in property taxes by 1.90% percent. All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearings on this tax increase to be held at the administrative offices of the Charlton County Board of Education, 37 Touchdown Lane, Folkston, GA 31537 on October 10, 2019 at 10:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M.  The time and place of an additional public hearing on this tax increase is at the administrative offices of the Charlton County Board of Education, 37 Touchdown Lane, Folkston, GA 31537 on October 22, 2019 at 5:30 P.M.  This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 17.20 mills, an increase of .32 mills.
