Sales Tax History
Over the last 5 years, $9,000,000 per year of extra sales tax proceeds was given to the City of Cumming and its 5,400 residents. These funds rightfully belong to all 175,500 Forsyth County residents - - $148 of potential tax relief per county household.
SPLOST is a 5 or 6 year 1% sales tax whose proceeds can be used for capital things. LOST is a 1% sales tax whose proceeds are primarily intended to lower or at least maintain property taxes. See information about these in County Payments to City.
