SPLOST VIII

PROPOSED PROJECT LIST 

General Information

Georgia law allows local communities to use Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) proceeds for capital improvement projects that would otherwise be paid for with General Fund and property tax revenues or that would not be accomplished.

Governments cannot use SPLOST funds to pay for operating expenses such as personnel salaries or ongoing expenses.
