Offices, hospitals and apartments
Sandy Springs incorporated on December 1, 2005, and holds the western part of Perimeter Center, while the mall side lies in Dunwoody in DeKalb County. A Perimeter-area address can therefore be in either county, and DFS confirms which before quoting.
Corporate headquarters and multi-tenant towers put many recipients behind lobby security. The server identifies the purpose of the visit, asks staff to contact the person or an authorized agent, and logs the answer. For a company defendant, service on its registered agent is often more direct than a lobby attempt.
Pill Hill, the medical area off Peachtree Dunwoody Road, includes Northside Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Hospitals limit where visitors may go, so a staff witness is often better served at home. Along Roswell Road and near the MARTA stations, apartment communities with leasing offices and access gates make up much of the residential stock.

Sandy Springs questions
An office address says Perimeter Center. Is it Sandy Springs or Dunwoody?
It can be either. Sandy Springs is in Fulton County and Dunwoody is in DeKalb. Both carry a $125 Routine starting rate, but the county matters for court purposes, so DFS checks it.
Can you serve a doctor or nurse at the hospital?
Hospitals restrict access to most areas. The server will not interfere with care or enter restricted space; a home address is often the better target.
Should I serve the company at its headquarters or its registered agent?
Georgia generally allows service on a corporation through an officer, a managing agent or its registered agent. Counsel decides which, and DFS serves the person you name.
