Horry County Public Information

What Horry County Public Information does

The City of Doraville is a municipal government entity located in DeKalb County, Georgia, providing full-service local government to its residents, local businesses, and regional visitors. The city operates across departments including police, public works, community development, parks and recreation, municipal court, code enforcement, finance, and library services. Its service portfolio spans public safety, permitting and inspections, business licensing, sanitation and stormwater, recreation programming, library access, and civic engagement programming such as the Career Catalyst Internship and Buford Highway Restaurant Month. The city is governed by a Mayor and City Council structure, with a City Manager responsible for day-to-day operations.

The city delivers services through a hybrid physical-digital infrastructure. Physical touchpoints include City Hall at 3725 Park Avenue, a temporary City Hall annex at 2421 Van Fleet Circle (Suite 200) during downtown redevelopment, and the Forest Fleming Arena for recreation. Digital infrastructure includes the DoraView Open Data Portal built on ArcGIS Hub for public maps and spatial data, Cloudpermit for business licensing and permit management, RecDesk for recreation registration and facility rentals, an online municipal court fine-payment portal, a Citizen Problem Reporter application, and online open records and election services. Economic development is supported by a designated Opportunity Zone offering Georgia's highest job tax credit of $3,500 per new job.

Doraville's revenue model is regulatory rather than commercial. Revenue streams include occupational tax certificates (annual business licenses based on NAICS codes and gross receipts), permit fees (building, land disturbance, signage), municipal fines and court fees, excise taxes (alcoholic beverage by-the-drink, beer wholesale, rental vehicle), and hotel-motel occupancy tax. Customer segments comprise city residents (primary), local businesses seeking licensing and permits, and a regional community engaged through cultural events, with recent leadership turnover including a new City Manager and Chief of Police appointed in April 2026.
