JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Arrangement between county and city allowable.

- Court of Appeals erred in finding that the Homestead Option Sales Tax Act (HOST), O.C.G.A. § 48-8-100 et seq., did not allow a county to disburse funds to various cities in order to facilitate the capital outlay requirement under O.C.G.A. § 48-8-104(c)(2)(A) as HOST was implemented under the "special district" provision of Ga. Const. 1983, Art. IX, Sec. II, Para. VI, and as it was not a "county tax," it was subject to such an arrangement; however, the intergovernmental agreement between the county and cities had to be authorized under Ga. Const. 1983, Art. IX, Sec. III, Para. I in order to be valid. City of Decatur v. DeKalb County, 277 Ga. 292, 589 S.E.2d 561 (2003).

HOST implements district tax.

- Homestead Option Sales Tax (HOST), O.C.G.A. § 48-8-100 et seq., implements a district tax under the "special district" provision of Ga. Const. 1983, Art. IX, Sec. II, Para. VI; intergovernmental contracts which are authorized under Ga. Const. 1983, Art. IX, Sec. III, Para. I cannot be limited by HOST. City of Decatur v. DeKalb County, 277 Ga. 292, 589 S.E.2d 561 (2003).
