FLOST to appear on Ballot in November

Commissioners voted Tuesday night to proceed with plans to call for a Floating Local Option Sales Tax (FLOST) on the November ballot.

The Floating Local Option Sales Tax (FLOST) is a new sales tax which can be levied up to one percent and collected county-wide.

The board agreed to proceed with negotiations for an intergovernmental agreement with both Blackshear and Patterson. The agreement must be in place before the county can call for a referendum.
