Smyrna Phone Directory for Open Records
All requests for open records in Smyrna should be made in writing to the Open Records Coordinator. The easiest and most efficient method is to submit a request online through Smyrna's JustFOIA portal at smyrnaga.justfoia.com. This portal lets you submit your request, track it as it moves through the process, and download the records once they are ready.
The Georgia Open Records Act, set out in O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 through § 50-18-77, gives the public a right to inspect and copy most government records. You do not need to be a Smyrna resident. You do not need to state a reason for your request. The law applies to anyone who asks.
Under state law, Smyrna must respond to your request within three business days. If the city needs more time, they must notify you within that window and provide an estimated completion date. The first 15 minutes of staff time are free. After that, charges are based on the hourly wage of the lowest-paid employee who can fill the request. Paper copies cost 10 cents per page.
If your request is denied, the city must explain why and cite the specific part of O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 that applies. You have the right to challenge a denial in superior court if you believe the records should be public. Most routine records like meeting minutes, budgets, and correspondence are available without issue.
Smyrna Police Records Phone Directory
The Smyrna Police Department handles its own records requests for incident reports, accident reports, and other law enforcement documents. The police department is at 2800 King Street SE, Smyrna, GA 30080, in the same complex as City Hall. For police records, it is best to submit through the JustFOIA portal and note that your request is for police records. You can also call the police department non-emergency line and ask to be connected to the records unit.
Routine reports like accident reports and closed case files are usually available within a few business days. Reports tied to active investigations may be withheld under the investigation exemption in the Georgia Open Records Act. If a report is withheld, the department must tell you why and cite the relevant statute. Once an investigation is closed, the records generally become available for public access.
For urgent needs, such as insurance claims that require an accident report, let the records staff know the timeline you are working with. They may be able to prioritize your request or point you to a faster way to get what you need.

Smyrna Phone Directory Tips
Smyrna is small enough that most city business can be handled with one or two calls, but a few things will make the process smoother. First, use the JustFOIA portal for any open records request. It is the fastest method and creates a paper trail you can refer back to. Phone calls and in-person visits work for general questions, but the law requires a written request to start the formal open records process.
If you need county-level records like court filings, property deeds, or probate documents, go to the Cobb County offices in Marietta. Smyrna city offices handle city-level items such as business licenses, code enforcement, and local permits. Understanding which level of government holds the record you need is the single biggest time-saver when working with public records in Georgia.
Keep a record of every call and every request you make. Write down the name of the person you spoke with, the date, and what they told you. This information is valuable if you need to follow up or escalate a request. Most Smyrna city staff are responsive, but having documentation of your interactions helps if there is a delay or miscommunication.
Morning calls go through faster. Try 8:00 AM when lines first open.
