About us
Welcome to Gwinnett County — one of America's fastest-growing counties for the past 20 years. Our dynamic and exciting county combines the best of big-city living with the comforts of the suburbs. The county's population in 2000 was about 588,448 and we’ve only continued to grow since then, with more than a million residents now calling our county home. Gwinnett has many advantages, beginning with its location and road system. The county is just 45 minutes from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and 30 minutes from downtown Atlanta. Thanks to this location, 80 percent of the U.S. population is within a two-hour flight. Georgia Highway 316 has been extended to Athens, reducing travel time to the University of Georgia to 25 minutes. Gwinnett's infrastructure includes more than 2,750 miles of roadways to provide excellent mobility for our residents. The County Administrator and County Attorney are appointed by the Board of Commissioners and serve at its pleasure. To implement the Board's policy directives, the County Administrator uses a management team consisting of members of his immediate staff and 15 department directors. The 15 departments that make up the executive side are Police Services, Fire and Emergency Services, Corrections, Child Advocacy and Juvenile Services, Communications, Support Services, Financial Services, Community Services, Human Resources, Information Technology Services, Law, Parks and Recreation, Planning and Development, Water Resources, and Transportation. Each department is run by a director who is charged with managing operations efficiently and effectively. In addition to the executive side of County government, certain services are provided through Constitutional officers and independent elected officials. These external offices are created by the Georgia Constitution or through state law. In Gwinnett, they include the Sheriff, Tax Commissioner, District Attorney, Probate Court Judge, and Chief Magistrate.

The Board of Commissioners is considering keeping the general fund millage rate the same as last year, at 6.950 mills, and will hold three public hearings for residents to comment in the auditorium of the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center in Lawrenceville: • Thursday, July 23 at 11:00am and 6:30pm • Tuesday, August 4 at 11:00am Gwinnett County homeowners who qualify for the regular homestead exemption also benefit from the Value Offset Exemption, which keeps the assessed value of a property constant for the County portion of the homeowner’s tax bill by setting and holding a base year value. This means that even if there is an increase in a property’s value, the County tax amount will not increase if the millage rate is held steady. The VOE is specific to the county government portion of the bill. The VOE does not apply to the other taxing jurisdictions such as schools or cities, and cities and school districts set their own millage rates. The Board of Commissioners lowered the general fund millage rate to 6.950 in 2020 and has held it steady since. This means most homeowners have not seen an increase in the County government portion of their tax bill in six years. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gaBpMXaz. In addition to holding public hearings, the Board of Commissioners is accepting online comments about the 2026 proposed millage rate. Residents can visit https://lnkd.in/gdnqgH97 to access the form and provide feedback. The online comment period closes Monday, August 3 at 9:00pm. Learn more about the meetings and the proposed millage rate at https://lnkd.in/gfVFeaBs.
