City of Talmo

City of Talmo Talmo, GA - The Jewel of Jackson County The new City Hall also houses the City Library. See the library page to check when they are open.

Talmo has a full time City Clerk and an active city council consisting of Mayor and four council members; they moved into its current 4,000 square foot facility in April 2004. The new City Hall was a home built in 1910 and was purchased and owned by a Doctor Kennedy for the price of $350.00 on April 13th, 1910. When the city first moved into the house it needed a few updates to make it amendable,

such as wheel chair accessibility and a handi-cap accessible restroom. In December of 2006, the city paid off the remainder of the note with remaining SPLOST revenues right under $200,000.00 dollars. At last count the Talmo Library had approximately 1,800 books; the current librarian is continually working to upgrade the book inventory. Wayne and Jill Miller, owners of Talmo Ranch, have bought several of the old buildings in the downtown area and have restored them with a Historic appeal. The former city hall was located in a general store dating back to the early years of Talmo’s beginning. The building has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places as have other building restored by the Millers. The majority of the property in Talmo is still agricultural but with the rapid influx of new citizens from metro Atlanta, the rural atmosphere may be lost in years to come.
