Milton People Search Quick Facts
Milton Open Records Process
The City Clerk handles open records for Milton. The current clerk is Tammy Lowit, and you can reach her at 678-242-2500 or tammy.lowit@miltonga.gov. Milton uses JustFOIA for its records portal. You can file requests online by picking from categories like "Police, Fire, or Court," "Community Development Records Request," or "Public Records Request." The system tracks your request and sends updates by email.
The Milton public records request page walks through the full process. Under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70, the public has a right to inspect government records. The first 15 minutes of staff research time are free. After that, Milton charges based on the salary of the lowest-paid employee who can fill the request. Copies cost ten cents a page. If the estimated cost goes over $500, the city requires prepayment before work starts. That does not come up often, but it is good to know for large requests.
Milton is authorized to charge for records even if you don't pick them up. So be sure about what you need before you place a request. The city's records policy follows the Georgia Open Records Act closely, and O.C.G.A. § 50-18-71 sets the three-business-day deadline for a response.
Milton Court Records
The Municipal Court of Milton handles traffic citations and city ordinance violations. Contact Wendy Lee at 678-242-2525 or wendy.lee@miltonga.gov for court questions. The court is at 13690 Highway 9, Milton, GA 30004. The police department shares this same address, which can cause a bit of confusion for visitors.
For court records and reports, use the Milton records and reports request page. You can also go through the JustFOIA portal with the "Police, Fire, or Court" form. Municipal court records in Milton typically cover traffic tickets, code violations, and minor offenses. For more serious matters, Fulton County is where those records live.
