Delcourt Drive Water Line Replacement Project

DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management will be conducting a water line replacement on Delcourt Drive beginning April 4, 2022. Please expect some inconvenience, as this project will last approximately 12 months, and will entail noise and extra traffic from 8am
​to 5pm Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays. This project is part of DeKalb County’s $2.4 billion capital improvement program, designed to improve the watershed system in our community.

North Decatur Cityhood Initiative

Proponents of cityhood are proposing creation of the City of North Decatur, which would include an area larger than the previous Vista Grove, extending further north to Embry Hills and south to Avondale Estates, Decatur and Atlanta. It would be bound by I-85 on the west and I-285 on the east and have a population of approximately 82,000. A bill will probably be introduced in the 2023 legislative session.

Protect Yourself from Property Deed Fraud

Picture
Across the country, homeowners have been finding themselves victims of property deed fraud, where their homes are stolen without their knowledge. Later, probably when they try to sell, they learn that they no longer own the deed to their home. DeKalb County is not immune to this scam.

Property owners are encouraged to register their homes with the Property Fraud Registry Alert System which will notify them any time something is recorded on their property.  For more information, please call the Clerk’s Office at 404-687-3812.

The "SafeDeKalb" Community Risk Reduction Initiative targets emergency response for single-family residential homes that may be occupied by persons who are older, have special needs, or are chronically ill, and may want Fire Rescue to have a safe way to access their private residence in case of an emergency.

​DeKalb County Joins Nationwide Trend to Offer Official Glass Recycling Drop-off 

Effective July 17, 2017, the DeKalb County Sanitation Division will no longer accept glass in curbside recycling.  Residents will have two choices for glass disposal:  normal household garbage or one of 16 dedicated county-operated glass recycling drop-off locations that feature glass sort/separation.

DeKalb becomes the first county in Georgia in this nationwide trend to divert glass from landfills and to offer an official glass recycling drop-off program in an urban area. Please join the quest to make glass a much more sustainable and valuable recyclable material.
