r/Gwinnett

Gwinnett 20s and 30s group looking for more people to add! We’re mostly a movie group but do a lot of other hangouts such as Fernbank, Cafe meetups and various other events! We use group me to communicate so will have to download if already haven’t <3

MUST be 23+

- Must be semi active

We do a lot of meetups and that can be a bit overwhelming but making at least 2-3 meetups a month is something we value greatly.

- profile picture of you is REQUIRED upon joining and will be vetted prior to joining to avoid bots.

Hello. This is an incredibly strange request, but after working in the heat during the week, I would absolutely love to just float in a pool. Unfortunately, my neighborhood pool, as well as every public one in the county, is just... closed for some reason.

Really and truly, I would just love to come to your/a pool that you may have access to that you would not mind for me to either use alone, or for us to use- if you are at all interested in chilling and talking and swimming. I'm a 22 yo, nerdy, super politically engaged, skinny mixed dude who is sane and just seeking a good time regardless.

Again, I apologise for this incredibly weird post, but I genuinely will go pay $45 and go to jeju or something I can't do so soon. If anyone is open to this prospect, please let me know. I appreciate you

repost from yesterday’s helpful post

There's a Homestead Exemption Act on the nonpartison ballot tomorrow:

>Homestead Exemption

> "Shall the Act be approved which increases the homestead exemption from Gwinnett County school district ad valorem taxes for educational purposes in the amount of $10,000 of the assessed value of the homestead for residents of that school district, which represents a $2,000 increase in such exemption?”

I'm a homeowner, and while I would appreciate the tax relief I think that education is one of the most important investments for this nation's future.

What are y'all's thoughts on this?

edit: To clarify, the act is on all the ballots, I just saw it on the nonpartisan one first.

Is there a way to get a replacement emissions sticker for my license plate? The one I have on right now (valid for another 8 months) is barely sticking on and looks like it could come off any moment.

I have my registration in my car but don't want to be hassled for it for no reason.

I have a 1982 Chevy Silverado that I inherit for my grandfather, and it is currently in the shop with a mechanic. It has been sitting there roughly going on a year and there’s a lot of complications with the mechanic with his health, and his lack of help. The mechanic that is working on my truck is in Douglasville and what’s fixed. I would like to have it fixed by someone in the Duluth area.

Last day is at the end of this month.

Some of you might have seen our first voting guide, but thanks to the hard work of our volunteers (just a quick reminder: no one in the Gwinnett Dems gets paid!), we’ve been able to put together a v2 with a lot more data. We want to make sure everyone has the right info before heading to the polls, so this is designed to keep things simple and all in one place.

Just dropping in to share the updated voter guide for Gwinnett County. We want to make sure everyone has the right info before heading to the polls, so we put this together to keep things simple and all in one place.

Here is the link: Voter Guide

Inside the doc, you'll find:

• Early voting dates and locations
• Absentee ballot info and drop box rules
• Quick info on down-ballot candidates
• Voter ID requirements

A quick favor: please take two minutes to double-check your voter registration status on the GA My Voter Page. They purge the voter rolls regularly, so it's always better to be safe even if you've voted recently.

Figure out your voting plan now, and please share this doc with your friends, family, and group chats in Gwinnett.

Let's get to work! 💙

I got an email about my account moving over to a new water payment site. When I went there it said the SSL cert is invalid. Did anyone else get this? I emailed Gwinnett county but haven’t heard back yet. I wonder if the email was a scam.

Hello! I am honestly at my limit using apps to try to find roomates and this is my last resort. My name is Emma (f21) and i am looking for a roomate. My max rent that I can pay is $880 including utilities. Id prefer to be closer to lawrenceville or snellville. Im looking for non male roomates in their 20s or 30s that are lgbt+ accepting. Please reach out if youre in a similar boat and have suggestions or if you are interested

I’m new to the Snellville/ Stone Mountain area and have a wedding to attend next month. I have a suit but it needs some alterations. And recommendations for a small business/ someone reasonable? TIA

Self explanatory. Not sure if this is allowed but I’m not sure where else to ask.

The hemp bill is great but I’m tired of only being able to find carts. I know <.3% THC flower exists somewhere around here. I don’t want to have to travel to Athens or Atlanta. Looking for somewhere in Gwinnett or barrow!

Who is approving it?
Are politicians making money from this?
Will anybody ever be able to get out of Ridge road in that traffic?

Sure, I get housing is needed, but this is unplanned development

Lived in Georgia most of my life. I’m a guy 32yo and all my friends I had left Georgia a couple years ago. We’d still game and talk online, but as life goes on, people move on, they have families, etc.

Games and anime being my hobbies, I don’t even know where to begin making friends. I usually play games on PC, genres ranging from MOBA, Shooters, MMO’s to single player games.

How would one go about finding local and offline friends as an adult, when it seems like your hobbies gravitate towards gaming online?

Notices went into the mail today. Last year Gwinnett didn't mail until May 23, so this is about a week earlier than the typical timing. If you own a home in the county, yours should land in the next few days. The 45-day appeal window starts from the date printed on the notice, not the day you open the envelope, so it's worth pulling it out of the pile when it arrives and writing that deadline on your calendar.

Three things to look at when your notice arrives:

1. The Fair Market Value (FMV). That's the only number you're actually appealing. Compare it to what your house would realistically sell for today. Redfin and Zillow are a starting point, but pulling 3 to 5 recent sales within a mile of you is what actually carries weight.

2. Your property card on QPublic (Gwinnett's public property lookup). Check square footage, bedroom and bath count, basement classification, finished vs unfinished sq ft, garage type. Errors on the card are the cleanest grounds for an appeal because they're not opinion, they're factual corrections the county has to fix.

3. The date on the notice itself. Your 45-day clock starts there. You can file online through the Gwinnett Tax Assessor portal, by mail, or in person.

Three things that keep most people from filing, none of which actually hold up:

"Appealing might make it worse." It cannot. O.C.G.A. 48-5-311 forbids the county from raising your value as a result of an appeal. The Board of Equalization can lower your value or leave it the same. Those are the only two outcomes.

"I need a lawyer or a service." Usually no. The standard path is filing online, putting together a one-page summary with 3 comparable sales, and a 20-minute virtual hearing if it advances to BOE. Most homeowners do this themselves.

"They'll just bump it back up next year." They can't. O.C.G.A. 48-5-299(c) freezes a successful appeal value for three tax years. Win in 2026 and your value is locked through 2028, with narrow exceptions like physical additions to the home.

Happy to answer questions as people start opening their notices this week.

Looking to move to Gwinnett as I currently have to commute from Conyers to Lawrenceville for work. Looking for a decent 1-2bd in the area. Are there any notable areas to look for or stay away from?

Hey all, are there any other car peeps who're in the north metro area here? I'm looking to make some new friends. As they say, or as my wife says lol, once you turn 30 it's harder to make friends/meet ppl. I go to car meets here and there, but not those takeover/wild one's. I'd love to chat and meet some new peeps who are into cars!
