📢 ATTENTION SAPELO ISLAND LANDOWNERS & DESCENDANTS. The Sapelo Project is sharing this very important post below from Voices of Sapelo‼️

If you own property on Sapelo Island, the deadline to appeal your 2026 property tax assessment is Thursday, July 23.

Review the assessment notice you received in the mail and determine whether an appeal is necessary. If you miss the deadline, you will lose the opportunity to appeal your assessment.

Please help spread the word by sharing this post and contacting family members, neighbors, and other property owners—especially those who may not be aware of the deadline.

We are truly grateful for EVERYONE that has continued to support our fight for our community of Hog Hummock on Sapelo. Over 80 people showed up for the Tuesday Planning & Zoning meeting. There literally was not enough room for those in attendance. Folks had to stand in the hallway and lobby. The P&Z Commissioners unanimously tabled/voted down the proposed HH ordinance.

McIntosh County Board of Commissioners will hold a Special Called Meeting TOMORROW on Friday, July 10, 4 p.m. at the Old Darien City Hall.

New Business: Consider sending a revised, updated zoning ordinance for Hog Hammock to the McIntosh County Zoning Board for a public hearing and recommendation at the Aug. 4, 2026 meeting.

We hope to see you there if you can make it!!

Thank you for continuing to Stand With Sapelo to Keep Sapelo Geechee!💪🏾🔥🙏🏾
