    About Georgia county parcel data

    State overview

    Georgia property records are administered at the county level under the oversight of the state Department of Revenue, which sets assessment standards but does not maintain a centralized parcel database. Each of Georgia's 159 counties operates its own GIS and CAMA (Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal) system. The atlas currently covers three Atlanta-metro counties: Fulton, Cobb, and DeKalb. These three together account for the urban core of a metro area exceeding 6 million residents, but the surrounding ring of Gwinnett, Cherokee, Forsyth, and Clayton counties remains unindexed.

    Regional coordination

    Georgia has no statewide cadastral clearinghouse. The Georgia Department of Revenue sets property tax rules and audit standards, and the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA) maintains deed and lien records searchable at gsccca.org, but neither publishes a consolidated parcel REST service. County GIS departments publish independently, and quality varies sharply outside the metro core. Within the Atlanta metro, Fulton, Cobb, and DeKalb each maintain their own ArcGIS Server infrastructure. The Georgia Geospatial Advisory Council coordinates on mapping standards, but parcel exchange between counties is voluntary and infrequent. Planners working across county lines must query each county's endpoint separately.

    Common data quirks

    Owner-name field varies by county

    All three atlas counties expose owner names publicly, but the field names differ. Fulton uses Owner (single concatenated field, last-name-first format: 'SMITH FAITH L SMITH MARIO D' for joint ownership). Cobb uses OWNER_NAM1 and OWNER_NAM2 as separate fields — OWNER_NAM1 covers the primary owner, OWNER_NAM2 a secondary. DeKalb uses OWNERNME1 and OWNERNME2. A query pattern written for one county will fail on the others without a field-name substitution.

    Parcel identifiers are not standardized

    Each county uses a different parcel identifier format. Fulton exposes ParcelID; Cobb exposes both PIN and PARID (PARID is the CAMA account ID, PIN is the map reference number); DeKalb uses PARCELID, an 11-digit string formatted with spaces (e.g., '06 249 03 007'). None of these match the statewide GSCCCA instrument number used in deed records. Cross-referencing ownership history to a parcel requires matching on site address, not on parcel ID, unless you know which identifier the county deed index uses.

    Cobb County refreshes nightly from CAMA

    The Cobb County service name is taxassessorsdaily, which confirms a nightly republish from the county's CAMA system. This means Cobb ownership data is generally current within 24 hours of a deed transfer being processed by the Tax Assessor. Fulton's layer is versioned but does not publish its update cadence. DeKalb's layer is hosted on ArcGIS Online and appears to refresh on an irregular cycle. For time-sensitive ownership queries in the Atlanta metro, Cobb is the most reliably current of the three.

    Key counties

    Fulton County

    Contains Atlanta and extends north to Alpharetta and south to Fairburn. Layer 11 of the PropertyMapViewer service exposes Owner, ParcelID, and full site and mailing addresses. 372,900 polygon parcels. Owner field uses last-name-first concatenated format; joint-ownership records concatenate both owners into one string.

    Cobb County

    Northwest Atlanta metro county containing Marietta, Kennesaw, and Acworth (pop. 766,000). The taxassessorsdaily service updates nightly from CAMA and exposes 36+ fields including FMV_LAND, FMV_BLDG, FMV_TOTAL, and assessed values alongside ownership. One of the most attribute-complete public parcel layers in Georgia.

    DeKalb County

    Eastern Atlanta metro core (Decatur, Doraville; pop. 764,000). This is Georgia's DeKalb County (FIPS 13089), distinct from DeKalb County IL (FIPS 17037). Layer hosted on ArcGIS Online via dcgis.dekalbcountyga.gov. Exposes OWNERNME1, SITEADDRESS, and USEDSCRP (use description).

    Common search patterns

    Owner-name queries on Fulton: ?where=UPPER(Owner)+LIKE+UPPER('%25SMITH%25')&outFields=ParcelID,Owner,Address&f=json. On Cobb (OWNER_NAM1): ?where=UPPER(OWNER_NAM1)+LIKE+UPPER('%25SMITH%25')&outFields=PIN,OWNER_NAM1,SITUS_ADDR,FMV_TOTAL&f=json. On DeKalb (OWNERNME1): ?where=UPPER(OWNERNME1)+LIKE+UPPER('%25SMITH%25')&outFields=PARCELID,OWNERNME1,SITEADDRESS,USEDSCRP&f=json. Append returnGeometry=false and resultRecordCount=10 to limit response size. Address queries use Address on Fulton, SITUS_ADDR on Cobb, and SITEADDRESS on DeKalb.

    Questions, with answers

    Georgia parcel REST API — common questions

    Which Georgia counties publish a public parcel ArcGIS REST API?

    4 Georgia counties are indexed in the UrbanKit atlas with verified public REST endpoints: Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, and Gwinnett. Each exposes an owner-name field you can search directly on the public layer.

    How do I search Georgia parcels by owner name?

    Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, and Gwinnett expose an owner-name field on the public REST layer. Fulton, for example, uses the Owner field — a case-insensitive search is ?where=UPPER(Owner)%20LIKE%20UPPER('%25SMITH%25')&outFields=*&f=json. Open a county's page here for its full field list and a ready-to-run sample query.

    What is the ArcGIS REST URL for parcels in Fulton, Georgia?

    Fulton publishes parcels at https://gismaps.fultoncountyga.gov/arcgispub2/rest/services/PropertyMapViewer/PropertyMapViewer/MapServer/11 — a MapServer (layer 11). It indexes by Parcel ID, Owner Name, Site Address (full), and Address Number. Owner-name search: UPPER(Owner) LIKE UPPER('%25SMITH%25').

    Do Georgia parcel layers use ArcGIS FeatureServer or MapServer?

    Both. Georgia uses a mix: Gwinnett publish ArcGIS FeatureServer layers, while Fulton, Cobb, and DeKalb use MapServer. Both support /query, so the same owner, parcel-ID, and address lookups work against either.
