ALPHARETTA · PUBLIC-RECORDS TRANSPARENCY GRADE
A
23/24
Alpharetta gets an A.
Fulton County is what Georgia looks like when a major county executes the Open Records Act as designed. 3-day clock, public booking photos, free Clerk case search, mandatory PeachCourt e-filing. The 2023 RICO booking-photo release demonstrated the policy in real time. Same pattern as Cuyahoga County (OH).
Note: County-level grade from Fulton County applies — no separate city grade yet computed for Alpharetta.
