Peachtree Corners

What Peachtree Corners does

The City of Peachtree Corners is a municipal government incorporated on July 1, 2012, in Gwinnett County, Georgia, operating under a council-manager form of government with an elected Mayor (Mike Mason) and six-member City Council, and a professional City Manager (Brian L. Johnson). The city delivers core municipal services — building and permitting, planning and zoning, code enforcement, public works, solid waste coordination, municipal court, economic development, communications, and community events — to residents, businesses, and visitors within its jurisdiction, with police, fire, water, and certain health services delivered through intergovernmental agreements with Gwinnett County and other public partners.

The city's revenue model is fee-based rather than property-tax-based: it maintains a zero city millage rate and generates income from occupational tax certificates (business licenses), building/mechanical/plumbing/electrical permit fees, planning and zoning fees, alcohol beverage licenses, and special event and film permits, supplemented by sales tax distributions and intergovernmental revenue sharing. Service delivery is enabled by third-party platforms including CivicPlus (CivicEngage CMS) for the public website and BS&A Online for permits, licensing, and fee payments, with Waste Management as the contracted residential solid waste hauler since January 2019. The city operates a GIS/Mapping system and supports a notable infrastructure asset, Curiosity Lab — a city-owned, 1.5-mile autonomous vehicle test track and smart city living laboratory that has drawn international attention and serves as the city's flagship technology differentiator alongside the Town Green/Town Center mixed-use civic district.

Strategically, Peachtree Corners differentiates through its zero-millage cost posture, its Curiosity Lab smart city infrastructure, and ongoing capital investments such as the May 2026 Council-approved $3.25 million acquisition of the former CinéBistro building at Town Center. The city is actively pursuing economic development, business attraction, and film production permitting as growth vectors, while leveraging Gwinnett County and state-level partnerships for safety, utilities, and transportation. With 11–50 staff and a recently refreshed council leadership (Vice Mayor Phil Sadd elected January 2026; Ora B. Douglass as first African American female Councilwoman elected November 2023), Peachtree Corners positions itself as a fiscally conservative, technology-forward municipality within the Atlanta metropolitan area.

Others

• BS&A Software: Provider of the BS&A Online permitting, licensing, and payment platform used by the City for building permits, planning/zoning, business licensing, and inspection scheduling. An enabling technology peer whose product footprint mirrors a large portion of Peachtree Corners' digital service delivery.
• CivicPlus: Provider of the CivicEngage CMS platform that powers peachtreecornersga.gov. CivicPlus is an enabling technology vendor rather than a direct municipal peer, but is materially comparable in that its civic-engagement and content-management capabilities directly shape how Peachtree Corners delivers digital services.

Direct peers

• City of Cary, NC: Tech-forward Southeastern suburb (Research Triangle) with a comparable economic-development focus, smart-city/community-tech initiatives, and similar household-income demographic profile — often cited as a national benchmark for municipal innovation in the same size class.
• City of Johns Creek: Gwinnett County neighbor of Peachtree Corners with similar demographics and a comparable suburban tech-corridor employer base. Direct peer on resident attraction, permitting throughput, and intergovernmental service-delivery arrangements with the county.
• City of Suwanee, GA: Gwinnett County peer municipality with a similar town-center redevelopment model and comparable emphasis on event programming, parks, and business attraction — directly comparable on resident services and small-business licensing.
• City of Duluth, GA: Adjacent Gwinnett County city competing for the same commercial tenants, residents, and film/permitted-event activity. Operates a similar municipal service portfolio and economic-development mission in the same county context.
• City of Sandy Springs: Large suburban Atlanta city offering a directly comparable mix of municipal services, business licensing, planning/zoning, and economic-development programming for a similar residential and commercial base in the same metro region.
• City of Alpharetta: Adjacent suburban Atlanta city in north Fulton County with comparable population scale, technology-sector employer base, and active economic-development programming. Direct competitor for corporate relocations and residents in the same metro, and operates its own downtown redevelopment and event programming analogous to Town Center.
• City of Roswell, GA: North-metro Atlanta suburb with comparable population and a comparable mix of permitting, planning, and economic-development services. The Peachtree Corners Finance Director previously served in Roswell, GA, reinforcing the operational comparability.

Broad incumbents

• City of Atlanta, GA: The dominant municipal incumbent in the Atlanta metro with a much broader portfolio of services, larger own-source tax base, and citywide smart-city initiatives. Overlaps with Peachtree Corners on regional economic-development narrative but operates at a fundamentally different scale and scope.
