Roswell Moves Toward Local Option Gross Receipts Tax
Roswell aims to place a LOGAT measure before voters within two months. City Council must pass a resolution to call the election and an ordinance to authorize the tax. If approved, the extra 1/8 percent would raise up to $800,000 annually for five years, with state collection beginning January 2003 and city oversight by the Council.
