SPLOST is a Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax that is one penny for each dollar spent on retail purchases in Catoosa County for things like food, clothes, appliances, home goods, hardware, electronics, etc. SPLOST is paid by Catoosa County residents as well as visitors to our county. By law SPLOST funds must be used for capital improvement projects and not day-to-day government operations. That means projects like road paving, stormwater management, sewers, fire stations and fire engines, parks, public buildings, and heavy equipment for public works. The current voter approved SPLOST continues through 2030.
