Alpharetta, Fulton County and the neighbors: who governs what

Alpharetta Now covers Alpharetta, Georgia, and the surrounding parts of Fulton County. We report from public records and official sources: city council agendas and minutes, the Alpharetta Police Department and the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, the Fulton County recorder / clerk, Fulton County School District and the National Weather Service office at FFC, and every story links to the record it came from.

Around the area

Alpharetta is in Fulton County. The places over 5,000 people within about 15 miles are Johns Creek, Roswell, Milton, Peachtree Corners, Duluth, Dunwoody, Norcross and Sandy Springs; we name them, with the distance, whenever a story reaches them. Who does what, and who to call: Alpharetta, Fulton County and the neighbors.
