County passes SPLOST, TAD
Brooklet sees council turnover; no change in Portal
Bulloch County Seal PNG
Tax on the dollar in Bulloch County will remain at seven percent after a landslide vote Tuesday to continue the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST). Voters also passed a referendum granting Bulloch County Commissioners “redevelopment powers” – a Tax Allocation District (TAD) that will enable them to form a district where newcomers – businesses and industry – pay special taxes which in turn will fund improvements and infrastructure for a proposed industrial park on Interstate 16 and U.S. 301 South. The SPLOST is not an additional tax, but a continuance of the one-cent sales tax that has been in effect for years.
