In South Fulton, Georgia, residents and visitors who need disability-related adjustments to city services, facilities, or employment should follow the city’s accommodation request process. This guide explains where to send requests, which departments enforce accommodations, common timelines, and how to appeal decisions.

Overview of the Accommodation Request Process

Requests for reasonable accommodations may involve different city offices depending on the subject: employment requests typically go to Human Resources, public-program or facility requests go to the Civil Rights or ADA coordinator, and building or zoning modifications may involve Planning or Building Inspection. The city’s Civil Rights & Equity office provides the primary contact for nondiscrimination and accessibility concerns. City of South Fulton Civil Rights & Equity[1]

Contact the city ADA or Civil Rights coordinator early to confirm the correct office for your request.
