Fulton County Government

What Fulton County Government does

Fulton County Government is a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, established in 1853 and headquartered at 141 Pryor St. SW in Atlanta. As Georgia's most populous county, it serves over 1 million residents across multiple municipalities including Atlanta, Johns Creek, Roswell, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, Milton, Mountain Park, East Point, South Fulton, Union City, and College Park. The county is governed by a seven-member Board of Commissioners led by Chairman Robb Pitts, with day-to-day operations managed by a County Manager; it employs between 4,000 and 10,000 people across all functions.

The county delivers a comprehensive suite of public services organized into functional departments covering Registration and Elections, Health Services (behavioral health, HIV services, food safety), Libraries and Arts, Animal Services, Youth Services, Senior Services, Water Services, Public Safety (911, Sheriff, Medical Examiner, Emergency Management), Court Services (Probate, Superior Court, Marshal), Human Services (homeless, rental assistance, indigent burials), Business Services (licensing, permits, inspections, economic development), and Property/Vehicle Services (assessment, taxes, tags). Supporting technology infrastructure includes the fultoncountyga.gov online portal, FGTV for live-streamed board meetings, a GIS-based Commission District Finder, Employee Self Service HR platform, i-Sight employee request system (human resources and civil rights compliance), and a WEX fuel card program administered by the Department of Real Estate and Asset Management (DREAM) for approximately 1,000 county vehicles across six offsite fueling locations.

Revenue is sourced from property taxes, federal and state funding/grants, service fees (birth certificates, marriage licenses, weapons carry licenses, passports, notary commissions, business licenses, permits, inspections), and water/sewer fees. Recent significant initiatives include a $1.1 billion jail renovation and new mental health facility plan, a $1 billion-plus South Fulton Medical Campus partnership with Grady Health System backed by $300 million in county bond funding, and pre-approved tax incentives for Amazon's proposed $500 million fulfillment center. The county also faces material regulatory and legal exposure, including a federal DOJ consent decree on jail conditions, an FBI seizure of 700-plus boxes of 2020 election materials in January 2026, and a federal grand jury subpoena on poll worker identities.
