About us
Welcome to Gwinnett County — one of America's fastest-growing counties for the past 20 years. Our dynamic and exciting county combines the best of big-city living with the comforts of the suburbs. The county's population in 2000 was about 588,448 and we’ve only continued to grow since then, with our current population nearing one million residents. Gwinnett has many advantages, beginning with its location and road system. The county is just 45 minutes from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and 30 minutes from downtown Atlanta. Thanks to this location, 80 percent of the U.S. population is within a two-hour flight. Georgia Highway 316 has been extended to Athens, reducing travel time to the University of Georgia to 25 minutes. Gwinnett's infrastructure includes more than 2,750 miles of roadways to provide excellent mobility for our residents. The County Administrator and County Attorney are appointed by the Board of Commissioners and serve at its pleasure. To implement the Board's policy directives, the County Administrator uses a management team consisting of members of his immediate staff and 14 department directors. The 14 departments that make up the executive side are Police Services, Fire and Emergency Services, Corrections, Child Advocacy and Juvenile Services, Communications, Support Services, Financial Services, Community Services, Human Resources, Information Technology Services, Law, Planning and Development, Water Resources, and Transportation. Each department is run by a director who is charged with managing operations in a manner which stresses the County’s values. In addition to the executive side of County government, certain services are provided through Constitutional officers and independent elected officials. These external offices are created by the Georgia Constitution or through state law. In Gwinnett, they include the Sheriff, Tax Commissioner, District Attorney, Probate Court Judge, and Chief Magistrate.

Being an age-friendly community means that Gwinnett is a place where people of all ages can live, work, and thrive. More than a quarter of our residents are over the age of 50, and we're committed to age-inclusive community planning across all services and programs. Earlier this week, Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson celebrated Gwinnett County as an AARP Age-Friendly Community. Gwinnett residents of all ages are encouraged to help support our seniors and their families today and for future generations to come.

In August 2023, the Department of Transportation expanded the Ride Gwinnett service by introducing microtransit, a shared-ride service that operates on demand. Gwinnett Transportation was honored with a National Association of Counties award for enhancing the Ride Gwinnett microtransit service. The Ride Gwinnett app allows passengers to easily navigate Snellville and Lawrenceville neighborhoods, improving access to essential services like healthcare, education, and local attractions. Since its launch in 2023, the Ride Gwinnett app has received more than 11,000 downloads, showing strong community interest. The service has served more than 107,000 residents, with plans to double this number by adding one new transit zone in 2024.

Gwinnett recently received recognition from the National Association of Counties for 31 outstanding programs and projects.
