Henry and Clara Ford sought to improve the quality of life and open doors for people living in Richmond Hill, formerly Ways Station. Their dreams and intentions did not die with them. Their legacy is still behind Richmond Hill's growth and fortunate existence. Richmond Hill was built on education, entrepreneurship, low taxes and beautiful landscape - the sense of community anyone can enjoy.

The goal of the Bryan County Board of Education is to provide a first-class education to meet the individual needs of a diverse student population by making it a priority to create a safe and comfortable learning environment. Our community values the importance of education highly, believing in a well-rounded curriculum to enhance the education each child receives.

Prospective home buyers have an extra incentive to live in Richmond Hill. In additional to having the lowest tax rates of all the coastal counties, homeowners ages 65 and up receive a $50,000 Homestead Exemption from the City, County and Board of Education property tax, resulting in tax savings in excess of $1,000 each year. This is just another reason Richmond Hill is the best place to retire on the coast of Georgia!

All other homeowners receive a $30,000 Homestead Exemption from the County property tax.

With an abundance of beautiful deep-water property, you can enjoy fishing and crabbing from the dock of your own waterfront home. For other, Richmond Hill's two full service marinas provide easy access to the area's many rivers and creeks - truly a boaters paradise.
