RE: Engraved Brick for the Echols County Veterans Memorial

Fellow Echols County Veterans, Spouses of Deceased Veterans and Friends of Veterans
I just got off the telephone with Representative Ellis Black and was given a green light to continue with the effort to sell Engraved Bricks at $25.00 each. Some of the labor and materials have been committed by others for the memorial. Funds for the Plaques and Seals will be made available soonest. It is time for us to do our part and we will have a Veterans Memorial in Echols County.
I made a commitment that we would sell around 150 bricks. Previous correspondence was that brick orders had to be placed prior to May 01, 2012. Based on this discussion with Rep. Black, I request all brick orders be placed soonest. Each order must indicate the Veterans Name, Branch of Service and Years Served. I.e. Lloyd S. Corbett, US Navy, 1956 – 1978. Donations are requested to be used to cover unexpected expenses. Please make Checks Payable to Echols County Veterans Memorial and mail them to me; Lloyd Corbett, 354 Pete Road, Lake Park, GA 31636 – 5730.

It is the responsibility of the taxpayer to notify the office of the Tax Assessors of any changes to their property (Tax Payers Return of Real Property - PT50R) between Jan 1st and April 1st of the year following the year when the changes were made.
EXAMPLE: REMOVING or ADDING A BUILDING, SHED or PORTABLE BUILDING, etc.
The Tax Assessors do not visually inspect every parcel in the county every year; therefore, for the return to stay current the tax payer must notify the Assessor's office during this period in order for their tax bill to be prepared correctly. It is the objective of the Board of Assessors of Echols County, that all tax payers be treated fair, equal and accurate.
