TSPLOST Information

TSPLOST stands for "Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax." After the general primary vote on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, TSPLOST passed with over 63% of votes in support.

Unlike other special purpose sales taxes in Georgia, TSPLOST can only be used on transportation projects. In fact, state law mandates that TSPLOST dollars be kept in a separate account away from other funds for auditing purposes and a detailed list of expenses be published once a year.

While "transportation purposes" has a wide-ranging definition, in Dawson County and the City of Dawsonville, it means repairing existing roads, as well as improving intersections for increased traffic flow. Attached is the ongoing list of projects.
