Cherokee County Wants to Hear from You on Possible New Sales Tax
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners is actively seeking public feedback concerning the potential implementation of a new sales tax. The proposed tax could be used to offset property taxes or fund transportation projects.
Three types of sales taxes are being considered: a Local Option Sales Tax, Homestead Option Sales Tax, or a Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax. The board has planned six town hall meetings throughout this month to gather public opinions on the matter.
The first town hall meeting will occur from 7-8 p.m. on January 8 in Cherokee Hall at the Cherokee County Administration Building. Additional town halls are scheduled for January 10, 15, 17, 22, and 23, at various locations across the county.
During these town hall meetings, officials will present the three tax options, explaining how each one operates, and then listen to residents' opinions on how to move forward.
Currently, Cherokee County is one of only three counties in Georgia, alongside Cobb and Gwinnett, that does not have an additional sales tax to help alleviate property tax and general fund expenditures.
