Stonecrest City Clerk Phone Directory
The Stonecrest City Clerk's office is the main contact point for open records requests, business licenses, and general city administration questions. Generally, open records requests should be directed to the City Clerk's Office. The clerk's phone number is 770-224-0200. City Hall is at 3120 Stonecrest Boulevard, Stonecrest, GA 30038.
Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Walk-in visits are welcome during these hours for payments, document pickups, and in-person requests. Staff at the front desk can point you to the right department if the clerk's office is not the one you need. The city runs a lean operation compared to older, larger cities, so many services are centralized through the clerk.
If you call and reach a voicemail, leave your name, number, and a short note about what you need. The office typically returns calls within one business day. For urgent matters, visiting in person during morning hours tends to result in the shortest wait.
Stonecrest Phone Directory for Open Records
Stonecrest handles open records requests through an online portal called NextRequest. You can submit an open records request using the web form at cityofstonecrestga.nextrequest.com. This portal lets you submit your request, upload supporting documents, track its progress, and receive the records electronically once they are ready. It is the fastest way to get what you need from the city.
The right to access public records in Georgia comes from O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 through § 50-18-77, known as the Georgia Open Records Act. Under this law, the city must respond to your request within three business days. You do not need to be a Stonecrest resident to make a request. You do not need to give a reason. Just put your request in writing and submit it through the portal or send it to the city clerk.
The city's open records page at stonecrestga.gov/270/Open-Records-Requests explains the process and links to the NextRequest portal. The screenshot below shows this page.
From this page, you can also find fee information, contact details for the clerk, and answers to common questions about what records are available.
Fees follow state guidelines. The first quarter hour of staff time is free. After that, charges are based on the hourly wage of the lowest-paid employee who can pull the records. Copies are 10 cents per page. If the city denies a request, they must cite the specific exemption under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 and explain the reason in writing.

Stonecrest Phone Directory Tips
Stonecrest is a newer city, so its government structure is smaller than what you might find in places that have been around for decades. That can work in your favor. Fewer layers of bureaucracy often means faster response times. The city clerk's office is the best first call for most questions. If they cannot help you directly, they know who can.
When making open records requests, the NextRequest portal is the best tool available. It is faster than phone or email, and it creates a clear record of your request and the city's response. Under the Georgia Open Records Act, the city has three business days to respond. If they need more time, they must tell you within that window and give an estimated completion date. If you get no response within three days, follow up in writing and reference your original request date and O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70.
For county-level matters, remember that the DeKalb County offices in Decatur handle most court and property records. Stonecrest city offices handle city-level business like licenses, code enforcement, and local ordinances. Knowing which level of government holds the record you need will save you time and phone calls.
