It is the largest city in Gwinnett County with an estimated population of 43,509 in 2018. The city is bordered to the north and west by the Chattahoochee River and is located east of Dunwoody. Peachtree Corners is the only one of Atlanta's northern suburbs that was developed as a planned community. It has no city property tax, and has earned the designation as a top ten best suburb, and one of the best places to live, in the entire State of Georgia for its education quality, low crime rate, cost of living, employment, access to amenities, and overall livability.

These include land-use planning, zoning, infrastructure maintenance and improvements, capital improvements, other public works, zoning enforcement, promulgation of building and environmental ordinances, business licensing and enforcement of them, and solid waste collection, among others. Peachtree Corners has a Council-Manager form of government. The city is governed by a mayor and six city council members which are elected to four-year terms. The city employees Peachtree Corners has in charge of day-to-day operations include a city manager, city clerk, and the community development director. The city also has code enforcement personnel, building officials, and department directors. Departments in the city include Communications, Community Development, Finance, Downtown Development Authority, and Public Works. The city has its own municipal court and employs a city attorney.
  The city is authorized to collect property taxes of up to one millage a year, though the city has thus far operated only on business license, franchise and other fees without levying any property taxes.

SPLOST, Georgia Department of Transportation and federal grant dollars contribute to the funding of capital projects.
