Georgia Law and Milton Records

Georgia has one of the stronger open records laws in the country. O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-70 sets the tone by saying the state has a "strong public policy in favor of open government" and that public access should be encouraged. This law covers every office in Milton that holds public documents. It applies to city departments, county offices, and the courts alike.

Under O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-71, agencies must respond to a records request within three business days. If the records exist, the office must produce them or give a written reason for the denial. Fees are capped at $0.10 per page for paper copies. Electronic records cost the price of the media used to store them. If the estimated cost goes over $500, the agency can ask for prepayment before they start the search. These rules protect your right to access Milton public records without running into surprise costs.

Some records are off limits. O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-72 lists the exemptions. Medical files, sealed court records, active law enforcement investigation notes, and data that would reveal Social Security numbers are all protected. But the law says these exemptions must be read narrowly. Most records in the Milton residents directory are open for anyone to inspect and copy. If a Milton office denies your request, you can challenge the denial. O.C.G.A. Sections 50-18-73 and 50-18-74 lay out the enforcement rules, including fines and legal costs for agencies that willfully violate the law.
