Real Estate Records in Georgia

Georgia maintains several types of real estate records for property transactions and ownership. Here are the main types you’ll encounter:

Property Deeds

Property deeds are the most fundamental real estate records, transferring ownership from one party to another. Georgia recognizes several types:

  • Warranty Deeds (most common, offering the strongest protections)
  • Quitclaim Deeds (minimal guarantees, often used between family members)
  • Security Deeds (used when property serves as loan collateral)

Property Tax Records

These documents track property tax assessments, payments, and any tax liens. They’re maintained by county tax assessors and collectors throughout Georgia.

Plat Maps

Plat maps show the divisions of land, including lot dimensions, streets, easements, and boundaries. These are filed with the county clerk’s office.

Title Records

Title records document the ownership history of a property. These include:

  • Title abstracts (summarizing ownership history)

  • Title search reports

Mortgage records document loans secured by real estate, including:

  • Mechanic’s liens (for unpaid construction work)
