The SPLOST Resident Review Committee is an independent, community-based body established to ensure transparency, accountability, and public engagement throughout the implementation of SPLOST.

Members of the committee represent a cross-section of DeKalb County residents and bring diverse expertise in finance, public administration, engineering, community development, and civic affairs.

Purpose of the Committee

The Oversight Committee is responsible for:

  • Reviewing SPLOST expenditures to ensure funds are used in accordance with state law and the project list adopted by the Board of Commissioners.
  • Monitoring project progress, milestones, and timelines across all categories of SPLOST investments.
  • Providing recommendations to County leadership on reporting, transparency tools, and public communication.
  • Sharing updates with the community helping residents understand how SPLOST dollars are being invested  across DeKalb County.

The committee does not make project selections or alter funding allocations; its role is to verify SPLOST is implemented as approved and that all financial and legal requirements are met.

Quarterly Program Reports 

The County publishes quarterly SPLOST reports that include:

  • Maps, dashboards, and project descriptions

These reports allow residents to follow how SPLOST investments are improving transportation, public safety, water infrastructure, recreation facilities, and community amenities across DeKalb County.

  • Annual independent audits
  • State-required financial disclosures
  • Compliance reviews conducted in coordination with the Oversight Committee

These audits help ensure all funds are used responsibly and in accordance with state law and the voter-approved project categories.
