There is a difference in having an Acworth mailing address and living inside the city limits of Acworth. The Acworth
mailing address can be found in Cobb, Cherokee, Paulding, and Bartow Counties. Having and Acworth mailing
address does not mean you live in the city limits of Acworth. The mailing addresses are decided by the federal
government, not the City of Acworth. There are even some City of Acworth Residents who have a Kennesaw Mailing
address. The best way you can find out if you are a city resident is to go through the following checklist:

1. Do you live in Paulding, Cherokee, or Bartow Counties? If you do live in any of these counties you do not live in the
city limits of Acworth. If you live in Cobb County proceed to step two.

2. Do you receive a bill from Acworth Sanitation for trash service? If no, you do not live in the city limits. If yes, then
proceed to step three.

3. Click here to see if your street name is on the list of city streets. If so, you are a city resident.
