Georgia tax allows local communities to use a Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (TSPLOST) proceeds for transportation purposes. If approved by the voters in Spalding County’s November referendum, proceeds from the TSPLOST can be utilized for projects that would otherwise be paid for with General Fund and Property Tax revenues. Governments cannot use TSPLOST funds to pay for operating expenses such as personnel salaries or any other ongoing expenses.
Guidelines for projects are listed below, you can also reference the Official Code of Georgia (O.C.G.A.) 48-8-260(5) for more details.
The 2020 TSPLOST program, if approved by Spalding County voters in May 2020, will add an additional 1% sales tax collection beginning October 2020 making Spalding County’s total sales tax 8%.
