Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (ESPLOST) is a 1% sales tax that already exists in Worth County. An ESPLOST is the option for a local school system to call a referendum approving a one percent sales tax for school construction and/or retire bond debt. The penny sales tax spreads the responsibility of educating our children to all citizens and visitors of the community. Anyone who spends money in Worth County is funding the ESPLOST, regardless of whether or not the person lives in the county.
IS THIS A TAX INCREASE?
