Oconee County Board Of Education Preparing For November Referendum On Education Local Option Sales Tax

***Current Tax Does Not Expire Until End Of 2027***

The Oconee County Board of Education is preparing to put a referendum on the Nov. 4 ballot for a new Education Local Option Sales Tax (ELOST).

The current ELOST does not expire until the end of 2027, so a new tax, if approved by voters in November, would not take effect on Jan. 1 of 2028.
