Greg & Jacquee Hart, Roswell, Georgia Real Estate Agents
Helping buyers and sellers navigate the Roswell, GA real estate market with clarity, strategy, and confidence.
Roswell sits along the Chattahoochee River in north Fulton County, about 20 miles north of Atlanta, with a historic downtown built around Canton Street. A Roswell mailing address isn't always inside the city, though: some homes in the 30075 ZIP code are in Cobb or Cherokee County, and that changes the schools and taxes that come with a home.
With well over 100 homes sold across North Metro Atlanta, we help clients compare Roswell's areas side by side, price homes with real-time data, and negotiate from listing or offer to closing.

Not Every Roswell Address Is in Roswell
Why it pays to check the county before you write an offer.
Inside the City of Roswell
The City of Roswell is entirely in Fulton County. Homes inside the city limits are served by Fulton County Schools, and owners pay property taxes to Fulton County, Fulton County Schools and the City of Roswell, with access to the city's own homestead exemptions.
Roswell Addresses in Cobb and Cherokee
The 30075 ZIP code reaches past the city's western and northwestern edges. Some homes with a Roswell mailing address sit in Cobb County or Cherokee County, outside the city limits. Those homes are served by that county's school district and pay that county's taxes, not City of Roswell taxes.
Before you fall in love with a listing, confirm which county it's in, which school district serves it, and which tax exemptions apply. We'll help you confirm all three before you write an offer. For school assignments, go straight to Fulton County Schools, the Cobb County School District or the Cherokee County School District.

To qualify, you must own and live in the home as your permanent residence as of January 1, and the city accepts applications from January 1 to June 1. Details and forms are on the City of Roswell property taxes page. For how Georgia's property tax cap works, see our guide to the Georgia HOME Act.
