Today is the last day to vote in the Bulloch County SPLOST referendum. Polls are open until 7:00 p.m. To view a sample ballot, find your polling place and more, visit https://lnkd.in/gQwyN-Fk. What is it? SPLOST stands for Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax. SPLOST is a county-wide, voter-approved one-cent sales tax that local governments use to fund specific capital projects. Our state government allows counties to levy sales taxes for local government and school funding. To learn more, visit https://lnkd.in/gy8NQ9jK. Who Pays for It? SPLOST is different from a property tax. Property taxes are paid only by people who own property in Bulloch County. SPLOST, however, is paid by everyone who shops and dines in Bulloch County, no matter where they live. Who receives funds? Bulloch County and the municipalities of Statesboro, Brooklet, Portal, and Register will split up the 2025 SPLOST proceeds based on their population size. The 2025 SPLOST is projected to generate roughly $138,000,000 in revenue for Bulloch County over six years. Of that 138 million, the City of Statesboro is expected to receive around $31,912,020.
