Keep your Georgia income tax dollars working in Sandy Springs

Every year, Sandy Springs residents and businesses pay Georgia state income taxes that support programs and projects throughout the state.

But what if you could choose to keep a portion of your Georgia income tax payment right here in Sandy Springs—supporting the police officers, K-9 teams, youth programs, and public safety initiatives that protect our community every day?

Through Georgia’s LESS Crime Act, you can.

Your Tax Dollars. Your Community. Your Police.

The Georgia LESS Crime Act allows eligible individuals and businesses to redirect a portion of their Georgia state income tax liability to support qualified local law enforcement foundations.

That means instead of sending all of those tax dollars to the State of Georgia to be used throughout the state, you can choose to have a portion support public safety in Sandy Springs.

Think about it: You are already going to pay Georgia income taxes. Why not keep some of those tax dollars working in the community where you live, work, raise your family, and operate your business?

Through the LESS Crime Act, contributions benefiting the Sandy Springs Police help provide resources beyond the City’s regular operating budget, including:

• Advanced specialized equipment
• Support for Sandy Springs Police K-9 teams
• Youth and community engagement programs
• Technology and public safety initiatives
• First-responder training and preparedness
• Programs and resources that help keep Sandy Springs one of the safest communities in Georgia

Why Send Your Tax Dollars Somewhere Else?

There are worthwhile projects and needs throughout Georgia. But the LESS Crime Act gives taxpayers a unique opportunity to have a greater say in where some of their Georgia income tax dollars are put to work.

Why not keep those dollars closer to home?

A strong and well-equipped police department benefits everyone. It helps protect our families and neighborhoods, strengthens our business community, supports a high quality of life, and gives our officers additional resources to serve and protect Sandy Springs.

This is more than a charitable contribution. It is an opportunity created by Georgia law to use your state income tax liability to make a direct investment in your own community.

You Have to Pay Georgia Income Tax Anyway

If you are going to write a check for Georgia income taxes, why not take advantage of the LESS Crime Act and direct an approved portion of that payment toward the men and women who protect Sandy Springs every day?

Keep your tax dollars local

Support Our Police. Strengthen Public Safety. Invest in Sandy Springs.
