In February, commissioners from Charlton County, as well as leaders from the municipalities of Folkston and Homeland, held a joint meeting to approve a special election for a Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, or SPLOST. The one percent sales tax will run for six years, collecting an estimated $8 million for projects for the county as well as Folkston and Homeland. The project list has already been approved by the local officials.
Ballot question: “Shall a special one percent sales and use tax be imposed in the special district of CHARLTON County for a period of time not to exceed six (6) years and for the raising of an estimated amount of $8,000,000 for the purpose of (1) funding projects for CHARLTON County; (2) for funding projects for the Municipality of Folkston, Georgia; and, (3) for funding projects in the Municipality of Homeland, Georgia.”
