This dataset represents the incorporated limits of the 16 cities in Fulton county, Georgia. In the four cases where the city extends into a neighboring county--Atlanta, College Park, Mountain Park, and Palmetto--only the portions of the city that lies within the county are included. The dataset is updated following the approval of an annexation of unincorporated land by one of the cities.

This feature class was originally downloaded from the Atlanta Regional Commission GIS data download webpage in April of 2013. The City of Brookhaven GIS department has updated the Brookhaven City Limits using the most accurate data sources possible. Although all the cities in the Atlanta Regional Commission area are represented in this feature class, the City of Brookhaven GIS is only maintaining the Brookhaven City Limits. Also, whenever the Brookhaven boundaries are moved/corrected based on new data the surrounding city boundaries are also moved to align correclty to Brookhaven's boundaries. Also, as adjacent city boundaries are changed or new cities are formed, the City of Brookhaven GIS Department will do it's best to keep this boundaries accurate, but we will not assume responibility for inaccurate city boundaries of other cities. All city boundaries besides the City of Brookhaven's city boundary are for reference purposed only.

The City of Atlanta data visualization suite from ARC & Neighborhood Nexus includes 400 variables all mapped to City of Atlanta neighborhoods, neighborhood planning units (NPUs), and City Council districts’ boundaries. The data includes several City-specific variables such as code enforcement, 911 calls and the results of the recently-conducted windshield survey of housing conditions, as well as hundreds of Census variables like income, poverty, health insurance coverage and disability. When we say “neighborhoods”, we actually mean “Neighborhood Statistical Areas,” which in some cases combine some of Atlanta’s smaller neighborhoods into one.The tools we built include an interactive map, which allows for a deep-dive analysis of all 400 variables, and a dashboard, which is an easy-to-use tool that provides quick comparisons of every neighborhood, neighborhood planning unit, and City Council district to the city as a whole.Visit Neighborhood Nexus and City of Atlanta’s website.

Sandy Springs City Limits approximate digital representation of corporate boundaries. This feature is for general reference only and does not substitute a survey or legal documents. For full legal description see the City Charter specifically, text hosted by Appendix A:"Beginning at the northwest corner of the City of Atlanta, as the boundaries of said city existed on January 1, 2005, at the point where the northerly city limit line of said city intersects the westerly county line of Fulton County and the Chattahoochee River, running thence generally easterly along the said northerly city limit line of the City of Atlanta, following the meanderings thereof, to the point where said line intersects the Fulton-DeKalb County line; run thence northerly, generally easterly, and generally northerly along the easterly county line of Fulton County to the point where the Fulton-Gwinnett County line intersects the Chattahoochee River; run thence generally west and southwest along the southern bank of said river, following the meanderings thereof, to the point of beginning. The corporate limits of the City of Sandy Springs shall also consist of properties, if any, annexed by local ordinance." - Appendix Acs

This resource is a member of a series. The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. A consolidated city is a unit of local government for which the functions of an incorporated place and its county or minor civil division (MCD) have merged. This action results in both the primary incorporated place and the county or MCD continuing to exist as legal entities, even though the county or MCD performs few or no governmental functions and has few or no elected officials. Where this occurs, and where one or more other incorporated places in the county or MCD continue to function as separate governments, even though they have been included in the consolidated government, the primary incorporated place is referred to as a consolidated city. The Census Bureau classifies the separately incorporated places within the consolidated city as place entities and creates a separate place (balance) record for the portion of the consolidated city not within any other place. The boundaries of the consolidated cities are those as of January 1, 2023, as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS).

This ready-to-print map shows the proposed sidewalk projects only from the T-SPLOST program.On November 8, 2016, Fulton County voters, including residents of Sandy Springs, approved the Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (T-SPLOST), a referendum to fund transportation improvements within the participating cities. In Sandy Springs, T-SPLOST passed with 56.7 percent of the vote.Beginning in April 2017, a 0.75 percent (3/4 of a cent) sales tax will be collected to fund the T-SPLOST transportation projects. An estimate $103.7 million over five years is expected to be raised for use in Sandy Springs for transportation improvements. Who pays the 0.75 percent tax? The sales tax will be paid by anyone - residents, visitors, businesses and tourists - who buys taxable products or services inside Fulton County, outside City of Atlanta limits. Where will the money be spent? The projects identified and approved by the City Council as part of the T-SPLOST initiative are listed below:Traffic Efficiency Improvements: Provides for local intersection and traffic efficiency upgrades throughout the city ($18,000,000)Perimeter Transit Last Mile Connectivity: Construct Perimeter Trails and acquire right-of-way for future high capacity transit linking the Perimeter CID and other alternative transportation options ($8,000,000)Sidewalk Program: Continue filling sidewalk gaps throughout Sandy Springs ($11,000,000)Johnson Ferry/Mt Vernon Efficiency Improvements: Construct dual roundabouts at Johnson Ferry Road and Mt Vernon Hwy intersections, sidewalks, and return streets to two-way traffic operations.

The Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) boundary is the line that includes the entire existing urbanized area defined by the United States Census, plus the areas expected to urbanize in the next 20 years. These areas are the basis for long-range and short-range transportation plans required by Federal law.After each Census, Federal rules require that ARC and local governments redraw the boundary. Being included in the MPA means those local governments can apply for federal funding through the TIP process and become eligible for funding under the Livable Centers Initiative, the comprehensive transportation plan, and other ARC projects. Following the 2020 Census, the Census Bureau designated a revised Atlanta Urbanized Area(UA) based on 2020 Census data. The Atlanta UA includes all or part of 20 counties, down from the 23 counties designated following the 2010 Census. These 20 include Barrow, Bartow, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, Dawson, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, Henry, Newton, Paulding, Rockdale, Spalding, and Walton counties.The Census applied new, stricter criteria in determining whether a census tract was urban or rural. In some places, this has meant that the Atlanta UA appears to have gotten smaller. For this reason, Pike County is no longer included in either the Atlanta Urbanized Area or the new MPA boundary. The Atlanta UA also no longer extends into Carroll County, though the new MPA boundary will include part of Carroll County as detailed below. The parts of Jackson County previously included in the Atlanta UA are now classified with the Gainesville UA. Adjacent to the Atlanta UA are the Cartersville and Gainesville UAs. These areas are represented by their own metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs). By previous formalagreement, ARC has assigned transportation planning responsibilities for the portion of the Atlanta UA in Bartow County to the Cartersville-Bartow Metropolitan Planning Organization (CBMPO).By similar previous formal agreement, ARC has assigned transportation planning responsibilities for the portions of the Atlanta UA in Hall and Jackson counties to the Gainesville-Hall Metropolitan Planning Organization (GHMPO), while GHMPO has assigned transportation planning responsibilities for the portions of the Gainesville UA in Forsyth and Gwinnett counties to ARC. These agreements will be updated to reflect new geographies andnecessary agreements following the 2020 Census.Data from the 2020 Census identified a new Winder Urban Area existing in Barrow,Gwinnett, and Walton counties. With a population of 50,189, the Winder UA exceeds the threshold of 50,000 established by Federal law to be designated as its own MPO. Conversations continue between ARC, the State, the City of Winder, and Barrow County about whether the City and County will form their own MPO; Federal law requires agreementbetween the two bodies. Until and unless Winder and Barrow County elect to form an MPO, they shall remain part of ARC. Should a Winder MPO be created, the new agreement between ARC and GHMPO will also need to include the new Winder MPO and divide transportation planning responsibilities in Barrow, Gwinnett, Hall, and Walton counties between the three agencies. ARC has developed the attached revised Metropolitan Planning Area through discussions with planning partners.• Like before, the new MPA boundary continues to contain the ARC’s 11-county region (Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, and Rockdale) in its entirety, as well as the entirety of Coweta and Paulding counties.• Newton County is now included in the new MPA boundary in its entirety to account for significant growth along Interstate 20 in the Covington and Stanton Springs areas.• Barrow County is also now included in the new MPA boundary in its entirety until and unless the City of Winder and Barrow County form their own MPO.• While the Atlanta UA was reduced in Spalding County, and a separate Griffin UA identified that does not meet the minimum threshold to form its own MPO, the new MPA boundary expands to include all of Spalding County to account for expected growth along Interstate 75, US 19-41, and State Route 16.• In Dawson County, the new MPA boundary accounts for population growth along Lake Lanier.• In Walton County, the new MPA boundary includes areas that the Census has designated as urban, as well as the cities of Monroe and Social Circle.• Carroll County is no longer considered part of the Atlanta Urbanized Area. The county contains two separate Urbanized Areas, Carrollton and Villa Rica, neither of which is large enough to form its own MPO. Because the City of Villa Rica is geographically divided between Carroll and Douglas counties, the City has opted to remain entirely within ARC. Accordingly, the new MPA boundary includes the portion of Villa Rica in Carroll County.

City of Cumming administrative boundary derived from Forsyth County Tax Parcel feature class, updated as new annexations occur

This dataset represent the boundaries of Fulton County voting precincts. Voting precincts are districts created for the purpose of assigning voters to polling places based on their place of residence. The boundaries are defined by the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections. The dataset includes all precincts in Fulton County but also includes precincts for the part of the city of Atlanta that lies in DeKalb County because the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections conducts elections for the the city of Atlanta even though the precincts in DeKalb County are defined by DeKalb County. Precincts are identified by alphanumeric designators which typically begin with a two-letter prefix indicating the city in which they lie. For example, precinct JS09 lies in the city of Johns Creek. The only exception to this convention is assignment of designators for precincts in the city of Atlanta, which begin with a two digit number indicating the council district in which they lie followed by a letter or letter and number combination to make each designator unique. The designator is recorded in the dataset in the field VoterDist. Changes to precinct boundaries can be triggered by a number of events including the redistricting that occurs as part of the reapportionment process following the decennial census, annexation of land by municipalities, and requests from municipalities to change the number of precincts with their boundaries. Any change to a precinct boundary must go through a formal process that begins with the documentation of the proposed change, approval by the County Board of Registration and Elections and approval by the County Board of Commissioners.
