The clerk runs an online portal called eServices. You can reach it at fultonclerk.org/144/eServices. This tool lets you search by name, case number, or date range. It covers civil and criminal case filings in Fulton County Superior Court, and that includes all Roswell cases filed at the county level.

Roswell City Open Records

The City of Roswell keeps its own set of public records. These include police reports, permits, code enforcement files, meeting minutes, and other city documents. Roswell city hall is at 38 Hill Street, Roswell, GA 30075. The main phone line is (770) 641-3700. For records requests, you can call (770) 641-3727. The city uses the JustFOIA platform to handle open records requests. You submit your request online and track it through the same system.

You can start a request at the Roswell Open Public Records Request page. The form asks for your name, contact info, and a description of the records you want. Be as specific as you can. If you name the exact document or date range, the city can find it faster. Georgia law under O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-71 says a government office must respond within three business days. Roswell follows this rule. The first 15 minutes of search time are free. After that, they can charge based on staff time and copy costs.

For police records and permits, Roswell may ask for a valid government-issued photo ID. This step is to confirm who you are before they hand over certain files. Not all Roswell records need ID, but it helps to bring one if you plan to visit in person. The Roswell residents directory includes records from both city offices and the county, so you may need to search more than one source depending on what public data you are after.

Roswell City Government Resources

The City of Roswell website is where you will find most city-level information for the Roswell directory. The site has links to each city department, forms, meeting agendas, and contact details. If you want to look up a Roswell permit, check on a Roswell zoning case, or see a public meeting record, start here. The city clerk is the person who keeps official Roswell city documents. They also handle business license records and alcohol license files.

Roswell has its own municipal court as well. The Roswell court deals with traffic cases, city code violations, and some misdemeanor charges that happen within Roswell city limits. Municipal court records can tell you about fines, case outcomes, and court dates tied to a Roswell address. For anything more serious, like felony charges or civil lawsuits, those go through the Fulton County Superior Court system. The split between city and county courts can feel confusing at first. A simple way to think about it: minor local matters go to the Roswell municipal court, while bigger cases go to the Fulton County courts in Atlanta.

Note: The Roswell municipal court is separate from Fulton County courts, so you may need to check both for a full search.

Property Records for Roswell Residents

If you want to find out who owns a home or lot in Roswell, property deed records are the place to look. These files sit with the Fulton County Clerk of Superior Court. You can also search the statewide index run by the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority. The GSCCCA Real Estate Records Search covers deeds, liens, and real estate filings from 1999 to the present. You can filter by Fulton County and then look for a Roswell address or a person's name.

Property records in the Roswell residents directory show names of buyers and sellers, the street address, the sale price, and any liens or claims on the land. Tax assessor data is another good source for Roswell searches. The Fulton County Board of Assessors keeps records on every parcel in the county, including all of Roswell. You can look up assessed values, owner names, and parcel maps online through the Fulton County government site. These Roswell property records are public and free to view.

Real estate files can help you trace who lived at a Roswell address over the years. Each time a Roswell home changes hands, a new deed gets filed. The chain of title shows every owner going back as far as the records go. For most Roswell properties, the digital index starts in 1999. Older Roswell deeds may need an in-person search at the Fulton County courthouse. This makes property data a strong tool in the Roswell directory for finding people and public records.

Roswell Voter Registration Data

Voter rolls are part of the Roswell residents directory. Every registered voter in Roswell appears in the state database. You can check on any voter through the Georgia Secretary of State My Voter Page. Search by name and date of birth. The tool shows registration status, voting district, and polling place. It is free to use.

Voter data tells you more than just whether a Roswell resident can vote. It confirms a current address, shows party affiliation (in states that track it), and lists which elections the person voted in. Georgia does not track party registration, but the voter file still has a lot of useful data for the Roswell residents directory. If someone moved to Roswell from another part of Georgia, the record will update once they change their registration. Under Georgia law, you must update your Roswell voter registration at least 30 days before an election if you change your address.

Full voter registration lists for Roswell and the rest of Fulton County can be bought from the Georgia Secretary of State. The state charges a fee for these bulk data files. They contain names, addresses, and voting history for all registered Roswell voters. Individual lookups on the My Voter Page cost nothing. These voter records are a key part of the Roswell residents directory.

Roswell Court Records Search

Court records for Roswell residents can come from a few places. The Fulton County Court site says you can find "a public records search that includes: marriage, divorce, criminal, arrests, mugshots, missing persons & more" for the county. Since Roswell sits in Fulton County, all of these records apply to Roswell people. The Fulton County Clerk of Superior Court is the main keeper of these Roswell files. You can search online through the eServices portal or visit the courthouse in Atlanta.

Fulton County also has service centers outside of downtown. The North Service Center is at 7741 Roswell Road, Suite 253, Atlanta, GA 30350. This is the closest branch to Roswell. It handles court record searches, filings, and copy requests. If you live in Roswell and need to pick up a document, this spot can save you a long trip to the main courthouse in downtown Atlanta.

• Civil case filings and judgments
• Criminal case records and dispositions
• Property liens and deed transfers
• Marriage and divorce records
• Probate and estate filings

All of these Roswell court files fall under the Georgia Open Records Act at O.C.G.A. Sections 50-18-70 through 50-18-74. The law says Georgia has a strong public policy that favors open government. Agencies must hand over records within three business days. Paper copies cost $0.10 per page. Some records are sealed or restricted under O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-72. Juvenile cases, certain mental health records, and files with Social Security numbers are not open to the public. But most Roswell court records are available for anyone to search and copy.

Georgia Statewide Tools for Roswell

Several state-run databases can help you find records for Roswell residents. These tools cover all of Georgia, but you can narrow your search to Fulton County or the Roswell area. The My Voter Page is one tool that works for Roswell. The GSCCCA real estate search is another. Beyond those, the Georgia Secretary of State keeps business filings, professional license records, and other corporate data that can show ties to a Roswell address.

Georgia law gives the public broad access to these records. O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-70 sets out the state's commitment to open government. The law says that exemptions should be read narrowly. If a record is not specifically shielded by statute, it is open. This applies to every office in Roswell, Fulton County, and the state of Georgia. The result is a wide range of public data for the Roswell residents directory that you can search from home or in person.

One more tool worth noting is the Georgia Bureau of Investigation background check system. This is not free. You pay a fee and submit a request to the GBI. They search their criminal history database and send back results. This is different from the Fulton County court record search, which only covers cases filed in Fulton County. The GBI check pulls from statewide data. For a full picture of someone's public record in the Roswell residents directory, you may want to search both. Using multiple data sources gives the most complete directory results for a Roswell person search.

Note: State-level databases may take longer to update than county records, so check the date on any results you find.
