City of Auburn FY2027 Budget
SPLOST and T-SPLOST Funds
Working FY2027 material for three separate special-purpose sales-tax funds: Barrow County T-SPLOST, Gwinnett County SPLOST, and Barrow County SPLOST.
Reading note. These are three separate funds grouped together here because they appear consecutively in the binder and all concern special-purpose sales-tax funding. A desired project, projected appropriation, grant estimate, contract award, and actual expenditure are not interchangeable.
