Resource Library

Five cartoon pennies wearing different occupational costumes stand against a black background. From left to right: a construction worker with a sign, a police officer, a firefighter with an axe, a teacher holding books, and a groundskeeper with a rake. Each penny has glasses and portrays a friendly, cheerful demeanor.

2018 SPLOST

DeKalb County voters approved the county’s first-ever SPLOST in November 2017, and the collection of funds occurred from 2018 through March 2024. This six-year SPLOST required that 85% of the funds be dedicated to transportation and public safety projects, with the remaining 15% allocated to repairs and improvements of other existing capital outlay projects. SPLOST I generated approximately $460 million in revenue for unincorporated DeKalb County.
