Moving to Lawrenceville
Moving to Lawrenceville is a Gwinnett County move into the county seat: the county government, the courts, the library system, and the college are all based here, and the downtown square is the civic anchor. The school clusters vary by address, so the check comes first.
The pages below walk each piece with verified facts only.
First check
The school cluster, before the address
Which cluster does the address feed?
The Central Gwinnett, Discovery, Collins Hill, Archer, and Berkmar clusters all touch the city. The cluster for an address comes from the boundary maps. The schools page lists the chains.
One county, plus the county seat
Lawrenceville sits entirely in Gwinnett County, and as the seat it is where the county's government and courts are based, which means county errands are often in the city.
Set up
Utilities, vehicles, and the library card
- Water and sewer follow the city and county utility arrangements; set the account up before the keys change hands.
- Register your vehicle with the Georgia Department of Driver Services and tag it in Gwinnett County.
- Register to vote through the Gwinnett County elections office, based in the city.
- Get a library card at the Gwinnett County Public Library; the Lawrenceville branch on Lawrenceville Highway is the closest door. The libraries page lists the branches.
Getting around
The roads that run the city
Lawrenceville runs on the Lawrenceville Highway, the Grayson Highway, and the Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road, with I-85 a short drive west. The commute picture, transit, and the airports are all on the getting around page.
