Douglasville Public Records Center

Douglasville uses GovQA to run its Public Records Center. This is a web-based system where you submit open records requests, check the status, and download files when they are ready. The system has three main categories: requests to the city, requests to the police department, and requests to the community development department for building, planning, and zoning records.

The Douglasville Public Records Center portal is shown below. This is where you start any open records request for the city.

You can also track requests and view past responses through the "My Records Center" link on the same site. Under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-71, the city must respond within three business days. Copies cost ten cents per page, and the first 15 minutes of staff time are free.
