CONYERS — Rockdale County voters have approved a new 1% sales tax intended to reduce county and city property taxes, according to unofficial election results. The Floating Local Option Sales Tax, or FLOST, received about 64% of the vote in Tuesday’s election. Unofficial results Wednesday showed 21,084 voters supporting the measure and 11,942 voting against it. Rockdale voters approve a 1% FLOST for property tax relief The vote authorizes Rockdale County to collect an additional 1% sales and use tax for five years, with the revenue required to be used exclusively to reduce property taxes imposed by Rockdale County and the city of Conyers. The new tax will raise the combined sales tax rate in Rockdale County from 7% to 8%. County officials estimated ahead of the election that FLOST could generate approximately $26 million countywide in 2027. Under an agreement between Rockdale County and Conyers, approximately 81.5%, or about $21 million, would go to the county, while roughly 18.4%, or $4.8 million, would go to the city. Unlike a SPLOST, which funds designated capital projects, FLOST revenue must fund property tax relief. During a September town hall on the proposal, officials estimated the revenue could reduce the county’s current
