COUNTY GOVERNMENT INFORMATION CATALOG: 2018
What Information is Included in the Catalog?
The Government Information Catalog is a comprehensive guide to the organization and operations of Georgia's local governments. The Catalog is unique in that it provides the data collected directly from local governments including:
Management functions Services provided
Financial management practices Planning, zoning and development
procedures
Public facilities Economic development
activities Public safety Form of government
E-Government
What is the Purpose of the Catalog?
Local elected officials, administrators, state agencies and academics are among those who find the Catalog a useful source of comprehensive information on local government operations in the State. While providing information on specific subjects such as public safety or services provided, the primary purpose of the Catalog is identifying general patterns of government management and operations.
How is the Data Collected?
The data was collected through the Government Management Indicators (GOMI) survey prepared by the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and administered to all 159 counties in Georgia with a response rate of 98 percent. Due to the large variety of local conditions and characteristics of the governments participating in the mandated survey and the turnover of local government employees, individual responses to specific survey questions may not be consistent from year to year. In addition, data is self-reported and not verified by an outside source. The data presented is best used in summary form to reflect general management practices and services among governments of a similar size.
How Do I Use the Catalog?
1. Determine the population group of the county for which you want information and whether the government responded to the survey. In each of the tables, counties are grouped by population and listed alphabetically within in each group to aid comparisons of similarly sized counties.
2. Use the "Table of Contents" to determine which tables are most likely to have the information you need. 3. Note that each chapter is paginated separately. Some chapters have several sets of tables with pages numbered
accordingly. Example: Page 2.b 1 is the first page of the second table (Table B) in Chapter Two (Services Provided). 4. Each set of tables is preceded by a summary of totals and averages for each population group. The summary tables are useful for comparing an individual county to an aggregate of governments in its population group, and provide an overview of the data in each table.

Specific items covered in this chapter: Presence of a planning commission Zoning ordinance Including official responsible for the zoning ordinance Comprehensive Plan Review and amendments to comprehensive plan Variance and special exceptions When government policymakers grant a property owner a use for their property
other than that for which it is zoned. Use of codes and ordinances Local governments pass regulatory codes for the purposes of managing growth,
protecting the environment, and promoting public safety and welfare. Use of impact fees Impact fees are intended as a mechanism for growth to pay for itself. Local governments charge
developers these fees, and the funds are earmarked for specific purposes based on the assessment method.

There are several ways of distributing the tax proceeds among cities within a county.
