DeKalb County overhauls its websites to focus on services

By
Nov 14, 2016

DeKalb County is launching a more user-friendly government website, offering quick links to government services, videos and news.

The website, which went live over the weekend, is a major revamp of the government’s primary source of online public information.

It features links to find parks, search property tax information, pay traffic tickets and more.

The site also connects to dozens of pages about business licenses, marriage licenses, government contracts, elected officials, meeting agendas, properties and contact information.

It's available at the same address that DeKalb County's government has used for years: dekalbcountyga.gov.
