The Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) is a voter-approved, one-percent sales tax authorized by Georgia law to fund capital improvement projects that enhance Troup County. SPLOST revenues support investments in roads and bridges, public safety facilities, parks and recreation, and other public infrastructure.
Unlike property taxes, SPLOST is paid by anyone making taxable purchases in Troup County, including visitors, helping reduce the burden on local property owners. By law, SPLOST funds may only be used for voter-approved capital projects and cannot be spent on operating expenses, salaries, or routine maintenance.
Troup County is committed to responsible stewardship of SPLOST funds through annual independent audits, detailed financial reporting, and full compliance with Georgia law, ensuring transparency and accountability while investing in the County's long-term infrastructure and future growth.
