Legislators from Alpharetta, Milton and Johns Creek have plans for county government.
CORRECTION: A zero was left off the chart below, making it seem $50,000 homes the most taxed property in the county – except it was supposed to be $500,000. If state lawmakers from Alpharetta, Milton and Johns Creek have their way, Fulton County residents will see lower property taxes, have another county commissioner to represent them and know that new county employees will be evaluated based on their performance. Rep. Jan Jones, R-Milton, is introducing legislation today to double the homestead exemption for Fulton County homeowners to $60,000. If the bill passes, county residents will vote on it in 2014. “As a 30-year resident of Fulton County, I understand how burdensome our high county property taxes are for homeowners,” the Speaker …

A lawsuit against Fulton County that predates the North Fulton city's formation allows LED signs along GA 400, Hwy. 9 and Arnold Mill Road.
Milton wasn't even a city when outdoor sign companies filed suit against Fulton County over billboards. But now that a settlement agreement has been reached, four billboards most likely will be erected in several nodes around the city. Milton City Attorney Ken Jarrard told City Council Wednesday night that permit applications were filed with Fulton County. "There were applications for up to 16 billboards within the area that would in the future become the city of Milton," Jarrard said. A judge struck down the Fulton County billboard regulations, which affected Milton. "Milton is required to comply with that order and otherwise deal with the loss of that litigation," he said. Now the city is liked to get four LED billboards, but Jarrard …
