Reasons for SPLOST 2021 
We’ll lower the pressure on our property tax bills and apartment rents. 
•Whether you own or rent, SPLOST 2021 will ease your home budget.
•It replaces a portion of our property tax obligations with a one-penny local sales tax.
•Renters are also impacted because higher property taxes typically lead to higher apartment rates.
•Best of all, up to a third of sales taxes will be paid by non-residents purchasing goods in our community.
A one-penny sales tax is fairest and most affordable.
•Property owners should not have to bear the whole burden of funding critical community needs such as roads, public safety, & other public projects.
•Without SPLOST capital projects place more pressure on property tax bills.
•However, a local sales tax spreads the cost to everyone, including visitors who tour, shop and eat here.
