December 2024 Informational Letter
Dear Valued Citizen:
Another year will soon be upon us! As we embark on 2025, we would like to recapture the changes that we relentlessly made in 2024, that will be effective beginning January 1, 2025.
- Fire Protection Fee (FPF)
The Fire Protection Fee has decreased to $25.00 monthly for residential customers, $150.00 for commercial customers, and $250.00 for industrial customers. You have an option to pay the fee in its entirety by January 31st to receive a 2% discount or continue to pay monthly.
Residential Customers Commercial Customers Industrial Customers
$25 Per Month $150 Per Month $250 Per Month
$300 Per Year $1800 Per Year $3000 Per Year
Discount: $6 = $294 Annually Discount $36 = $1764 Annually Discount: $60 = $2940 Annually
- Sanitation/Solid Waste
As a cost-savings mechanism, the City of Walthourville voted to privatize its Sanitation/Solid Waste Department. The city will no longer be collecting Solid Waste. Atlantic Waste Services Inc. was awarded the bid and will begin picking up the garbage/trash on Monday, January 2nd, 2025. Most trash days will remain the same but if you have any questions or concerns, please contact Atlantic Waste at 912-964-2000. A map of pickup days and areas is available on the City of Walthourville’ s website, Facebook pages, and displayed at City Hall.
- Property Tax/ Millage
The Mayor and City Council have voted to impose a millage rate for 2025 with taxes being collected in 2026. Public Hearings and additional pertinent information will be announced later in the year.
With the above changes that will be taking place, the 2025 Budget has been balanced and we look forward to continuing progressing this city forward. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your Elected Officials. (contact information is available on the city’s website).
Thank you for entrusting us to lead the City of Walthourville!
Respectfully,
Mayor Sarah B. Hayes Mayor Pro Tem Luciria L. Lovette (Post 4)
Councilman Mitchell Boston (Post 1) Councilman Patrick Underwood (Post 2)
Councilwoman Bridgette Kelly (Post 3) Councilman Robert (Bob) Dodd (Post 5)
