Forsyth County
SPLOST Building
Tomorrow’s Community

This November is your opportunity to vote YES
to building a stronger, safer and
healthier community.

Why
‍SPLOST Matters

SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) is not a new tax in Forsyth County but a continuation of a powerful tool for funding essential community projects without increasing property taxes. By allocating a portion of the sales tax collected within Forsyth County, SPLOST provides the financial resources needed to improve public infrastructure, enhance safety, and support community services.

A YES Vote…

Means that important infrastructure projects can be funded without creating pressure on homeowners.

Means that road and public safety enhancements can be funded by non-residents since 34% of every dollar spent in Forsyth County is paid by visitors

Means that county planning for public safety, roads and parks does not have to be minimalized

Where Your Vote Makes a
‍Difference

Parks &
Recreation

$75 million of funds raised will be allocated for Park & Recreation enhancements. These spaces are critical for community engagement, physical activity, and improving the overall quality of life in Forsyth County.

Public Safety

$86 million of funds raised will be allocated for Public Safety Increases. SPLOST will ensure that first responders have the tools and resources needed to keep
Forsyth safe.

‍

Transportation & Roads

$122 million of funds raised will be allocated for Road Improvements. Transportation improvements will be critical for maintaining quality of life and supporting local businesses.

‍

Libraries &
Community Spaces

Since first approved in 1987, past SPLOST programs have provided funding for a number of important infrastructure projects that otherwise may not have been possible, like Forsyth County’s new Denmark Library.
