2023 Fayette County SPLOST Information:

https://fayettecountyga.gov/splost-2023/

The acronym SPLOST stands for “Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax” and is a specific tax rate for a specific period of time. Counties and cities can use SPLOST funds for specific capital projects.

If the 2023 SPLOST is approved by voters, the sales tax in Fayette County will remain at 7¢ given that the existing SPLOST will end in 2023.

In Georgia, the State receives 4¢ of the sales taxes collected in every county. A 1¢ Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) is shared among a County and any of its municipalities based on an agreed-upon formula. LOST funds can be used by local governments as part of their General Fund operating expenses. Fayette County also has a 1¢, voter-approved E-SPLOST, which is invested solely for use by the Board of Education and a voter-approved SPLOST which will end in 2023. This comprises Fayette County’s current 7¢ Local Option Sales Tax.

Of the counties immediately surrounding Fayette County, Clayton and DeKalb Counties collect an 8¢ sales tax whereas Coweta, Spalding, Henry, and Pike Counties all collect 7¢. This is important because the extra penny of sales taxes fund only projects in the counties in which they are collected, no matter where the buyer paying the tax lives.

If approved by the voters, the 2023 SPLOST will be invested in capital projects throughout the County in the areas of facilities, public safety, parks, recreation, and human services, stormwater infrastructure, and transportation projects. The projects will be defined in an intergovernmental agreement that includes the specific list of projects for each municipality and the County.

Antebellum Way Culvert Replacement – Ribbon Cutting

Fayette County, Georgia, May 9, 2019 On Thursday May 23rd, 2019 Fayette County will celebrate the completion of another major 2017 Stormwater Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax project! The County is delighted to share this day with you and incredibly grateful to Fayette County citizens for these infrastructure improvements.

The stormwater culvert replacement project on Antebellum Way is complete. Severe flooding that occurred during December 2015 damaged two 84-inch corrugated metal pipes at the stream crossing, impairing stream flow and causing upstream flooding. Fayette County received both Georgia Emergency Management Agency and Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Hazard Mitigation grants to fund 85 percent of the project cost.

This was a complex project requiring one lane of the road to remain open at all times during construction along with relocating an eight inch diameter water line, gas line, and other underground utilities. The deteriorated pipes were upgraded to three 60-foot long concrete box culverts; one center box 9-feet tall and 9-feet wide flanked by two 7-feet tall by 9-feet wide boxes and associated wing walls.

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
Date: May 23, 2019
Time: 5:00pm
Location: 210 Antebellum Way (Recreation Area)
