Cobb County residents approved a referendum for a one-cent sales tax on September 20, 2005.
An estimated $825 million in additional funding will be collected using a Special Purpose Local
Option Sales Tax (1%) between January 2006 and December 2011. The money raised from the sales tax will be used to
fund capital improvement projects around Cobb County and within each of the county’s six cities
Local Sales Tax programs approved by Cobb voters in 1985, 1990 and 1994, provided $1.5 billion dollars in
transportation improvements.

Specific projects allowed include:
- Roads, streets, bridges and sidewalks/paths which will provide congestion relief.
- Public safety projects, include a jail, courthouse and an enhanced public safety communication system.
It is estimated that Cobb County residents will directly contribute 40 cents of every dollar raised, with
the remaining 60 percent coming from other sources.
All of Cobb’s cities will receive a portion of the funds which will be allocated according to population
figures in the 2000 Census.
