SPLOST Report
State law (48-8-122) requires each county
and city to publish an annual special purpose local options
sales tax (SPLOST) report in their local newspaper and on their
website before December 31 annually.
SPLOST is an optional one percent county sales tax used to fund
capital outlay projects proposed by the county government and
participating qualified municipal governments. County and
municipal governments may not use SPLOST proceeds for operating
expenses or maintenance of a SPLOST project or any other county
or municipal facility or service. Technically, the SPLOST is
levied in what the law refers to as a special district
comprising the entire territory of the county calling for the
SPLOST.
