Fire fees across the unincorporated portions of Effingham County are going up, while sanitation fees will remain level. County commissioners, in conjunction with adopting the fiscal year 2014 budget Tuesday night, approved a higher residential fire fee and decided to keep sanitation fees at the current level of $200 per year. The new fire fees will be $80 for residences, up from $55 per year.
