Newnan Quick Facts
Newnan City Hall Phone Directory
Newnan City Hall is at 25 LaGrange Street, Newnan, GA 30263. The main phone number is 770-253-2682. Hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This is the central number for city government, and the front desk staff can point you to the right department or give you a direct line. For most residents, City Hall is the first place to call when you need help with a city service or public record.
The city runs departments for planning, public works, utilities, parks, and code enforcement. Each one has its own staff and in some cases a direct phone number listed on the city website at newnanga.gov. If you know which department you need, checking the site first can save time on the phone. The main line works well as a starting point though, and hold times are usually short.
Walk-in service is available during business hours. Bring a valid photo ID if you plan to pick up records or submit forms in person. The building is in downtown Newnan near the courthouse square, and public parking is available on the surrounding streets. If your visit takes more than a quick stop, there are parking lots nearby that offer longer stays.
Newnan Open Records Phone Directory
The City of Newnan follows the Georgia Open Records Act. Under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 through § 50-18-74, any person can request public records from the city, and the city must respond within three business days. Newnan handles open records through a dedicated page on its website. You can find the details at newnanga.gov, which explains what to include in your request and how fees work.
The open records page is shown below.
From the page above you can learn how to submit a request, what the city can and cannot release, and where to send your form. Forms for making written requests are available without charge at Newnan City Hall. You can also submit through the city's NextRequest portal, which tracks your request online and sends updates.
You do not need to give a reason for your request. The law says anyone can ask. You do not need to be a Newnan resident or even live in Georgia. If the city denies any part of your request, they must cite the specific exemption under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 that allows the denial. Most records are open. Personnel files, ongoing investigations, and certain legal documents may have limits on what the city can share.
Newnan Phone Directory for NextRequest Portal
Newnan uses the NextRequest platform to manage open records requests online. The portal is at newnanrecords.nextrequest.com. This tool lets you submit a new request, check the status of a pending one, and download records when they are ready. It is a convenient way to handle the whole process without visiting City Hall or making phone calls.
The NextRequest portal is shown in the screenshot below.
The portal shown above has a simple form where you describe what records you need. Once submitted, the city assigns your request to the right department and tracks it through to completion. You get email updates at each step. If the city needs more details to find the right records, they reach out through the portal. This keeps everything in one place and gives you a written record of the whole process.
Using the portal is free. Fees for copies still apply based on the Open Records Act. Standard copies cost 10 cents per page. The first 15 minutes of staff time are free. After that, charges are based on the hourly rate of the lowest-paid employee who can do the work. Electronic records sent by email through the portal often cost less than paper copies. If you want to inspect records in person instead of getting copies, there is no charge for that under the law.
Newnan Phone Directory for Coweta Courts
Newnan is the county seat of Coweta County, and the Coweta County Courthouse is right in downtown Newnan. The courthouse handles superior court, state court, magistrate court, juvenile court, and probate court matters. All state-level court records for Newnan residents go through the Coweta County Clerk of Superior Court. The clerk's office is at 72 Greenville Street, Newnan, GA 30263.
For a statewide search of court records and land filings, the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority at gsccca.org/search is the main tool. The GSCCCA database covers deed records, lien records, UCC filings, and court filing indexes for Coweta County and every other county in the state. There is no charge to view basic index data. You need an account to access full document images.
The GSCCCA tool is helpful for anyone in Newnan who needs to check property records, verify a lien, or look up a court filing before going to the courthouse. It works from home, and you can search by name, date, or instrument type. For more detailed searches or certified copies, a visit to the clerk's office or a phone call is the next step.
Newnan Police Records Phone Directory
Police reports from the Newnan Police Department are available through the city's open records process. You submit a request the same way you would for any other city record. The NextRequest portal at newnanrecords.nextrequest.com works for police record requests. Specify the report type, the date of the incident, and any names or case numbers you have. This helps staff locate the right file quickly.
Basic accident reports and incident reports usually come back within a few days. The three-business-day window under the Open Records Act applies to the city's initial response. Larger requests or files tied to ongoing investigations may take more time. The city must let you know within those first three days what the expected timeline looks like.
Criminal cases that start with a Newnan police arrest go through the Coweta County court system once charges are filed. At that point, the Coweta County Clerk handles the records. For the initial police report, you go through the city. For the court case records after charges are filed, you go through the county clerk or the GSCCCA search tool. Knowing which office holds which records can save you time and extra phone calls.
How to Use the Newnan Phone Directory
Start with the main city line at 770-253-2682 if you are not sure who to call. The front desk can direct you to the right office. For open records, use the NextRequest portal or the form on the city website. Written requests are required by law under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70, so submitting online gets things moving right away.
Call early for the best results. Morning hours before 10:00 AM tend to have the shortest wait times. If you get voicemail, leave a clear message with your name, phone number, and what you need. Staff at Newnan City Hall do return calls, though it can take a day during busy periods. For court records, try the GSCCCA search tool first. It is free for basic searches and available around the clock.
Keep a record of your calls and requests. Note who you spoke with and when. If you submit through NextRequest, the portal keeps a log for you. That built-in record is one of the advantages of using the online system. If you think the city has not followed the Open Records Act, you can contact the Georgia Attorney General's office for guidance on next steps.
