Johns Creek City Records Access

The City of Johns Creek keeps its own set of local records separate from Fulton County. City hall is at 12000 Findley Road, Johns Creek, GA 30097. The phone number is (678) 512-3200. Johns Creek was incorporated in 2006, so its city records only go back that far. Before that date, all records for this area were handled by Fulton County alone. The city maintains code enforcement files, permit records, zoning data, and other local government documents that you won't find through the county clerk.

Open records requests in Johns Creek follow the Georgia Open Records Act. Under O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-70, the state has a strong public policy in favor of open government. Any person can ask for public records from the city without giving a reason. The city must respond within three business days. The first 15 minutes of search time are free, and paper copies cost $0.10 per page. These same rules apply to every public office in the city and across Georgia.

Johns Creek is a newer city, so most of its records are already in digital form. That makes open records requests faster to fill than they might be in older cities with decades of paper files. If you want local data for the residents directory, start with a call to city hall or check the city website for any online request forms.

Property Records in Johns Creek

Property records are a big part of the Johns Creek residents directory. They tell you who owns a home, lot, or building in the city. The GSCCCA Real Estate Records Search lets you look up property deals across all of Georgia. You can filter by Fulton County to find Johns Creek transactions. The index goes back to 1999. It shows buyer and seller names, the property address, liens, and the book and page where the deed is recorded.

The city is a suburban area with a lot of residential property. Homes change hands regularly here. That means property records pile up fast, and they can be very useful for finding out who lives at a given address or if there are claims on a piece of land. The GSCCCA search is free for basic lookups. It pulls from deeds filed with the Fulton County Clerk of Superior Court. The Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority runs this database, so a deed filed in Fulton County for a Johns Creek property also shows up in the statewide index.

Johns Creek Records and Georgia Law

Georgia's Open Records Act is the law that makes most Johns Creek public records available. O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-70 says the state has a strong policy in favor of open government and that public access should be encouraged. The law covers all records held by state and local offices, so it applies to every agency that keeps documents for Johns Creek.

Under O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-71, an agency must respond to a records request within three business days. If the records exist, the office must hand them over or explain in writing why they can't. Paper copies cost $0.10 per page. Electronic records cost the price of the media. If an estimate goes over $500, the agency can ask for prepayment. These rules protect your right to access public records without surprise costs or long waits. Georgia courts have said many times that the act must be read broadly in favor of the person asking for records.

Some records are off limits. O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-72 lists the exemptions. Medical records, sealed court files, active law enforcement investigation notes, and records that would reveal Social Security numbers are all protected. Public employee home addresses are also exempt. But the law says exemptions must be read narrowly. Most records in the residents directory are open for anyone to inspect and copy.

• Court records: civil, criminal, divorce, and family law cases
• Property deeds, liens, and real estate filings
• Voter registration and election data
• Marriage licenses and probate estate files
