Town Hall on Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) set for Sept. 21

Join us for a Town Hall on Local Option Sales Tax (LOST), which represents revenue of over $3 billion over ten years. The Town Hall will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m. at Roswell City Hall, 38 Hill Street.

The Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) is a 1% sales tax distributed between Fulton County and the cities in Fulton County. Every 10 years, the cities and Fulton County must renegotiate LOST distributions by law. The funds from LOST help cities like Johns Creek pay the cost of vital services such as fire, police, transportation, parks & recreation, and other services. These LOST funds help keep property taxes down for all taxpayers in Fulton County. Read more.
