Macon-Bibb County Commission seeks to put penny sales tax on future ballots

The Macon-Bibb County Commission wants to ask voters to decide whether to renew an additional penny sales tax that Mayor Lester Miller credits with helping reduce property tax rates over the past five years. The OLOST — which stands for Other Local Option Sales Tax — is a penny-on-the-dollar sales tax first approved by Bibb County voters in 2021. The county commission voted during its meeting Tuesday evening to approve a measure that would allow voters to decide in March whether to renew it for another five years. The ballot item still must be approved by the Macon-Bibb County Board of Elections. Miller said the OLOST has been used to help roll back the millage rate from 20.33 to 9.575 mills. “If it passes then, of course, we’ll continue to collect the penny sales tax and we’ll continue to use that to offset property taxes,” Miller said. “If we put this on the referendum and it fails, then we’ll revert back to the other rate or substantially cut the budget by millions and millions of dollars.” Commissioner Donice Bryant asked if there would be any public hearings or meetings on the matter. Miller replied that it would be against the

A groundbreaking ceremony included Walmart executives, local elected officials, and others at the site was dedicated in Franklin County near the I-85 corridor.
