THE 30-SECOND BRIEF

What's planned

The June 16, 2026 work session agenda lists “FLOST IGA and Resolution,” and the attached draft intergovernmental agreement between Haralson County and the cities of Bremen, Buchanan, Tallapoosa, Waco, and Temple details a 2027 Floating Local Option Sales Tax program. The agreement sets up a countywide FLOST referendum for November 3, 2026, projecting $30,000,000 in revenue over five years (January 1, 2027–December 31, 2031) exclusively for property tax relief, with requirements for separate FLOST funds and clear taxpayer disclosure of property tax reduction amounts.

What it means for vendors

This is a major fiscal initiative that will shape the county’s revenue structure, tax bills, and financial reporting for at least five years, and will require voter education, legal compliance, fund accounting, and intergovernmental coordination. Vendors in public finance, tax billing systems, ERP/accounting, public outreach, and election communications can position services around referendum support, implementation of separate FLOST accounting, tax bill redesign, and long‑term financial planning under the new sales‑tax‑for‑property‑tax‑relief model.

Background

Agreement requires creation of segregated FLOST funds and sub‑accounts, and mandates that tax bills display the dollar value of property tax reduction due to FLOST. Implementation will affect county and municipal finance, tax, and IT systems.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
