Milton Quick Facts
Milton City Clerk Phone Directory
The Milton City Clerk's Office is the main point of contact for public records in the city. Pursuant to the Georgia Open Records Act, the City Clerk's Office provides copies of city public records. This includes meeting minutes, city ordinances, contracts, budget documents, and any other file that the city creates or receives in the course of its work. The clerk's office also handles business licenses, city council agendas, and election-related records.
You can learn more about the open records process on the city's website at miltonga.gov/government/city-clerk/request-public-records. The page explains how to submit a request and what fees may apply. Submit a new request by completing the online form on the JustFOIA portal at miltonga.justfoia.com. The portal tracks your request from start to finish and sends email updates as things move along. You do not need to call or visit city hall to start the process.
If you prefer to handle things by phone, the City Clerk's Office can answer basic questions and point you to the right department. Staff can tell you whether the record you need is held at the city level or at the county level. For formal requests, though, the written process through JustFOIA is the official method and creates a documented trail of your request.
Milton Open Records Phone Directory
The Georgia Open Records Act at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 is the foundation for public access to government records in Milton. The law states that the General Assembly finds open government to be a strong public policy. Records should be available without unnecessary delay. This covers all city departments and all types of records, whether they are on paper, in email, or stored in a database.
Milton must respond to your request within three business days under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-71. The city can provide the records, ask for more time with an estimated completion date, or deny the request with a written explanation. The first 15 minutes of staff time are free. After that, charges are based on the hourly pay of the lowest-paid employee who can fill the request. Paper copies cost 10 cents per page. Electronic records can be sent by email at no extra charge if the city already has them in digital form.
Some records are exempt. O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 protects active law enforcement investigations, medical files, social security numbers, attorney-client communications, and certain other categories from disclosure. If Milton denies your request, the denial must cite the specific exemption. Under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-74, the city can charge reasonable fees for the search and copying of records, but those fees cannot be used to discourage people from making requests. If you believe a denial was wrong, you can challenge it in Fulton County Superior Court.

Phone Directory for Milton Police
The Milton Police Department handles law enforcement for the city. Police records, including incident reports, accident reports, and arrest records, are available through the open records process. The department has its own review process for records requests because police files may contain exempt material like active investigation details, witness information, or confidential informant data that must be checked before release.
To request a police report, use the city's JustFOIA portal and note that the request is for a police record. You can also contact the police department directly. Provide as much detail as possible. A case number works best. If you do not have one, the date of the incident, the location, and the names of the people involved will help staff locate the right file. Basic reports like completed accident reports are usually ready within a few business days.
Walk-in requests are accepted at the police department during business hours. Bring a valid ID. Staff can look up whether a report is on file and give you an estimate of when copies will be available. For complex requests, plan on a longer wait since the department may need time to review the file for exempt content before releasing it.
