Glynn County Board of Commissioners

What Glynn County Board of Commissioners does

The Glynn County Board of Commissioners is the governing body of Glynn County, Georgia — a coastal county in Southeast Georgia encompassing the Golden Isles (St. Simons Island, Sea Island, Jekyll Island) and serving a population that includes both permanent residents and seasonal visitors. The entity administers a broad portfolio of public services through dedicated departments including Recreation and Parks, Planning and Zoning, the Glynn-Brunswick 9-1-1 Center, Licensing and Compliance, the Property Appraisal Office, and the Brunswick Area Transportation Study (BATS) MPO. Core functional offerings span recreation and parks, emergency communications, transportation planning, floodplain management, zoning, permitting, licensing, and public records administration.

The technology stack is assembled from third-party SaaS platforms rather than proprietary systems: the public website is built on IFSIGHT (Interpersonal Frequency); property records run on QPublic (Schneider Corp); permitting and licensing are processed through OpenGov; service requests are routed via SeeClickFix; emergency notifications are distributed through CodeRED; document hosting is provided by Municode; mapping is handled through ArcGIS; and park safety is supported by the Perry Weather Lightning Prediction System. The website is certified to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Recreation infrastructure includes 1,100-acre Blythe Island Regional Park, 153-acre North Glynn Recreation Complex, Altamaha Regional Park (50+ campsites), Neptune Park Fun Zone (pool and mini-golf), two public marinas (St. Simons and Blythe Island), and specialized facilities including skate parks, pickleball and tennis courts, disc golf courses, and dog parks.

Revenue is derived primarily from property and sales tax receipts with supplementary fee-for-service income from recreation amenities — mini-golf at $6-$8 per round, pool season passes at $100-$275, marina wet slips at $13.50/foot/month, and boat launch fees of $15-$35. The County has maintained FEMA Community Rating System Class 5 status since 1992, providing residents with a 25% discount on flood insurance premiums. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed in the source material.
