Why the rate here is not the whole story

Georgia's state sales and use tax is 4 percent and Haralson County adds 4 percent of local tax, so the combined rate is 8 percent at every address in the county. The local part is a local option sales tax, an education SPLOST, a special purpose SPLOST and a second transportation SPLOST, each imposed on a special district that is the county itself after a countywide referendum, so the county line is the tax boundary here and no city in the county levies a general sales tax of its own.
