SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) is a program in Athens, GA that allows the local government to use sales tax revenue for capital improvement projects, relieving the burden on taxpayers. As the regional center for Northeast Georgia, Athens-Clarke County benefits from the sales tax dollars provided by both residents and nonresidents, ensuring fair support for the services and infrastructure utilized in the area. The SPLOST management team is responsible for overseeing the planning, design, and construction of capital improvement projects, as well as providing financial management and reporting. Additionally, the program supports the development and processing of reports required by the Mayor and Commission. In addition to SPLOST, Athens-Clarke County also utilizes TSPLOST (Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) for transportation purposes, subject to approval by voters in a referendum.Generated from the website
