How the 8% rate is made up

Georgia’s state sales and use tax is 4%. In Talbot County the local taxes add 4%: LOST (L), Educational (ELOST) (E), SPLOST (S), TSPLOST 1 (T). The DOR chart gives the combined rate and lists which local taxes apply; it does not split the local part between them (DOR General Rate Chart, October 1, 2026). The rate is unchanged from the July–September 2026 chart.

Compared with the rest of Georgia: 8% is higher than the rate in 38 of Georgia’s 159 county-level jurisdictions on the chart, and 83 others charge the same 8%. Combined rates run from 6% to 9%; the full list is on the Georgia sales tax calculator.

Worked example (pre-filled). A $100 purchase in Talbot County carries $8.00 of sales tax ($4.00 state, $4.00 local), for $108.00 in total. Vehicles are the main exception: Georgia charges a one-time title ad valorem tax (TAVT), currently 7% of fair market value according to the DOR, instead of sales tax (DOR TAVT page).
