Chatt Co Voters Asked to Pass Additional Sales Tax

Chattahoochee County voters will be asked to approve a new sales tax to help provide tax relief for property owners.
The Commission of the Unified Government of Cusseta-Chattahoochee County approved the request during its recent meeting. So, in November, voters will have the option of approving a Floating Local Option Sales Tax (FLOST) of one percent. This would be in addition to the existing sales tax.
However, the difference is that the new sales tax could only be used by the local government for property tax relief. Chattahoochee County is eligible for the FLOST due to the fact that it did not opt out of the new Floating Homestead Exemption passed by the State Legislature.
If passed, the sales tax would last for five years.
