Special-purpose Local-option Sales Tax

One SPLOST (1%) may be used to increase the Homestead Exemption for Property Tax es.

A SPLOST is not required to exempt groceries, but still cannot be applied to prescriptions.

Cities are normally not allowed to levy sales taxes, they instead share proportionately with their county.

Since 2004 , Atlanta charges a city sales tax of 1% to separate and Repair its old Sewer s and Storm Drain s.

Like the sewer tax, the MARTA sales tax is separate and not considered a SPLOST.
