Where Atlanta property records live
Atlanta is mostly in Fulton County, with its eastern neighborhoods in DeKalb County.
- Fulton County Board of Assessors — Owner of record, mailing address and assessed value for Fulton County parcels (search from the county's website).
- GSCCCA real estate index — The Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority's statewide index of deeds and liens recorded by each county's Clerk of Superior Court.
What to know about owner lookups in Atlanta
In Georgia, deeds are recorded by the Clerk of Superior Court in each county rather than a separate recorder's office. The GSCCCA index lets you search every county's land records in one place, which helps when an Atlanta owner holds property across metro counties.
Georgia transfers are filed with a PT-61 real estate transfer tax form, so recorded sales usually carry price information that non-disclosure states lack.
Check the county before you search: an Atlanta mailing address can sit in Fulton or DeKalb, and nearby cities such as Sandy Springs and Decatur have their own county records.
Unmask an LLC that owns a Atlanta property
If a deed in Atlanta names an LLC, search that exact entity name in the Georgia business search; the registered agent and any listed managers or members are your lead.
