Peachtree Corners city court records cover a narrower set of cases - primarily city ordinance violations and traffic matters handled at the local level. Because the city was incorporated only in 2012, there's a finite history of city-generated records. Cases that happened before 2012 when this area was unincorporated would have been handled entirely at the county level.
Georgia's open records statute, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70, covers public access to court records. Most filings are available to anyone who requests them. Sealed cases, juvenile records, and certain mental health filings are among the exceptions, but they are the minority of what's on file.

Bring photo ID and the case number if available. The clerk's staff can search by name and date range if you don't have a case number. Copy fees apply and vary by document type.
