— Mayor Lester Miller
Why Renew the SPLOST?
Your Sales Tax Will NOT Increase.
The SPLOST Is Not a New Tax
It’s a renewal of the existing penny sales tax Macon-Bibb has had since 2018. Renewing this tax ensures uninterrupted funding for critical infrastructure improvements like roads, bridges and public safety facilities.
71% of Funds Are from Non-Residents
Most SPLOST funds come from visitors, commuters and tourists. Out-of-town shoppers and travelers help pay for the improvements, easing the burden on local taxpayers.
Keeps Property Taxes Low
By renewing the SPLOST, we maintain the downward trend in property taxes, saving residents money while funding essential projects.
