Located approximately 20 minutes from Buckhead and just moments from Avalon and Downtown Alpharetta sits the City of Milton.
Named the No. 1 Safest City in Georgia for 2021 by SafeWise, Milton offers access to many country clubs, golf courses, award-winning public schools, top-rated private schools, chef-driven eateries, local shops, excellent trails, fabulous nurseries and one awe-inspiring winery – to name a few highlights.
From the walkability of the Crabapple area, the Deerfield area’s vibrancy and the Birmingham Crossroads’ rural character, Milton is a charming and dynamic place to call home. @cityofmiltonga

The Milton Farmers Market is on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., April through October. Top-notch vendors set up in the plaza outside City Hall in the partially covered area between Council Chambers and Community Place. Enjoy everything from pre-made meals to plants, caramel corn to candles, empanadas to produce, coffee to carved signs - and a whole lot more. The vendors are locally based small businesses, so in addition to treating yourself, you are supporting the regional economy.
People can park at City Hall itself at 2006 Heritage Walk. Those visiting (and perhaps shopping or dining) Crabapple generally can use the crosswalk to walk across Heritage Walk.
Milton’s annual arts and antiques festival is the first weekend in October. Crabapple Road in downtown Milton is transformed into a bustling market showcasing more than 100 local antique and art vendors featuring one-of-a-kind items. There will be lots of delicious food for you to enjoy while you watch football on a big screen in the heart of Crabapple. Crabapple Fest offers activities the entire family can enjoy. Even your leashed pet is welcome to attend!

Milton residents take great pride in the city’s rural heritage and natural beauty. That’s why, in 2016, over 82 percent of voters approved $25 million in bonds to acquire land for parks, trails and greenspace, including conservation land, wildlife habitat and natural areas. These areas are set aside for passive use and no development.
In 2019, Milton kicked this initiative into high gear by acquiring more than 248 acres. These purchases range from 106 acres off Lackey Road to a 4.8-acre parcel off Webb Road. This land was added to the 130 acres for passive use at the Former Milton Country Club, which the City bought in January 2018.

Designed as four distinct building forms inspired by our community’s equestrian and rural roots, Milton’s state-of-the-art library opened in 2015, offering 25,000 square feet of reading and community space.

When you call the police or fire department, play in a park, or eat at an inspected restaurant, you use services paid for by your city property taxes. Your taxes also pay for services to oversee development, protect water and air from pollution, repair and build roads and more. Property taxes are the largest source of revenue to fund these services that you count on daily.
Milton already had one of the most generous homestead exemption programs in North Fulton. Still, in 2022 the Milton City Council approved a resolution to increase homestead exemption opportunities for all adults aged 65 and older. Homestead exemptions apply to property owners who own and occupy a primary residence in Milton as of January 1 of a given tax year. Parcels of land without a primary residence do not qualify. Now, there is one exemption for those ages 65 and over for $25,000 regardless of income. In addition, residents aged 70 and over now qualify for the full value exemption from municipal ad valorem taxes if their annual income is below $100,000.
