DeKalb County Launches Sick of Signs Campaign
October is National Code Enforcement Month as designated by the American Association of Code Enforcement (AACE). A “Sick of Signs” sweep will take place from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, September 19. DeKalb County will observe the month by launching the third Annual “Sick of Signs” campaign, a national effort against the proliferation of illegal signs that blights communities.
Homeowner organizations, civic, and community groups are invited to participate by partnering with DeKalb County Code Enforcement Division to remove signs along roadways throughout the County. The “Sick of Signs” campaign is just one of many scheduled initiatives and activities to empower and educate residents on the importance of Code Enforcement and County codes in improving quality of life.
DeKalb County Code Enforcement enforces codes and ordinances related to property maintenance, zoning, planning, special land use, signs and permits in a fair, transparent, timely and consistent manner.

DeKalb Increases Transparency,
Communication with County Residents
DeKalb County announces a new initiative in an effort to enhance the relationship the county has with its residents. DeKalb County is now utilizing OpenGov, a financial analysis platform that provides residents unprecedented access to the county’s finances. In addition to OpenGov, DeKalb County invites the public to receive its press releases – which detail the latest news and updates to local news media – directly. DeKalb is the first county in the state of Georgia to leverage OpenGov technology. OpenGov currently works with other local governing entities in the metro Atlanta area, including Alpharetta, GA, Dunwoody, GA, and Milton, GA. With OpenGov, residents have instant access to the county’s budget and historical financial information, dating back to 2012, in a digital format that makes it easy to see how tax funds are collected and spent. Residents can explore revenue and expenditure trends and dive into the data through a variety of graphs and filters, all the way down to specific revenues or expense types. With social sharing features built into the platform, residents can instantly share data on social media or contact the county with additional questions.

Around DeKalb
Proud to host Rabbi Joshua Heller of Congregation B’nai Torah who gave inspirational to DeKalb County BOC this week.
 Thanks to O’Charley’s– General Manager James Slappy – for their generous donation of their famous bread to our DeKalb County police officer hero. I, personally, took these to him at Grady Memorial Hospital – the smile on his face was priceless. Turns out, our hero loves the O’Charley’s bread!
An honor to visit with DeKalb County first responder leaders Chief Susan Loeffler, Chief Darnell Fullum, and Chief Jim Conroy at the DeKalb County 9-11 Ceremony.
 Commissioner Jester toured the Grady Memorial Hospital Neonatal ICU today with Nurse Jacque Jackson. These amazing medical professionals save lives every day.
 Commissioner Nancy Jester is always on duty for the taxpayers of DeKalb County – even at the Tucker Waffle House.
