About Atlanta MOST

Atlanta MOST (Municipal Option Sales Tax) is a critical funding source dedicated to maintaining and upgrading Atlanta’s water quality, sewer systems, and public infrastructure. Since its inception, MOST has empowered the city to deliver safe, clean drinking water and efficient sewer services to all residents and businesses.

The program was established in response to Atlanta’s growing need for sustainable water solutions and resilient infrastructure. By collecting a small sales tax from everyone who shops, works, or visits in Atlanta, MOST ensures that the cost of essential upgrades is shared fairly—not just by homeowners, but by all who benefit from our city.

Funds from MOST have been invested in replacing aging water lines, modernizing treatment plants, and preventing sewer overflows. These improvements protect public health, support local economic growth, and safeguard our natural waterways for future generations.

Renewing the MOST is crucial for keeping Atlanta’s water and sewer systems strong, preventing costly breakdowns, and ensuring that every resident continues to have access to clean, safe water.
