Cobb County Government

Facing a small claims dispute — or thinking about filing one? In Georgia, Small Claims Court (also known as Magistrate Court) handles money and property disputes, including breach of contract, evictions, and minor personal injury cases. Attorney Derrick Rouse, in a presentation hosted by the Cobb Law Library, walks you through the entire process — from filing a claim to collecting a judgment.

Yarn arts enthusiasts - did you know there's a yarn exchange at the West Cobb Library?
So clean out your stash of your unwanted yarn and supplies, bring a skein to donate, and swap it for a skein you need.

If you have unused skeins of yarn, crochet hooks, or knitting needles that you would like to donate to keep the swap going, please bring them to West Cobb Library anytime during business hours.

Where can I put my sign?
Did Code Enforcement remove my sign?
Code Enforcement officers remove approximately 17,000 signs from the public right-of-way annually.

The Temporary Sign code allows placement of signage on private property for events such as elections, church or community gatherings, yard sales, and rental or sale of individual homes. Signage should not be placed in medians, trees, utility poles, or traffic control signs or devices. All temporary signage must be located on private property with the property owner’s permission.
