Here Be Dragons? Not Quite, But We Do Have County Courthouses
First things first, Georgia, like a choose-your-own-adventure book, offers a path for each county. That means you'll need to know the county where your property lies. Think of it like picking your Hogwarts house – Gryffindor (Fulton County) or Ravenclaw (DeKalb County)? Once you've identified your county, it's time to channel your inner Indiana Jones and head to the courthouse, the temple of property records.
But wait! Before You Grab Your Fedora...
There's a modern marvel called the internet at your disposal, too. Many Georgia counties have digitized their records, offering a treasure trove of information at your fingertips.
Tip: Compare what you read here with other sources.

The Georgia Superior Court Clerk's Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA) is your knight in shining armor. This website allows you to search for deeds by county, property owner names, and – you guessed it! – the elusive deed book and page number. For transactions since January 1st, 1999, you can search the GSCCCA website [here](link to GSCCCA website).
