ABOUT THE REAL ESTATE SYSTEM
Information about the Georgia Real Estate System

Legislation was passed in 1996 that required the Authority to develop and implement a statewide index for real estate and personal property records. With this mandate, the Authority created a one-of-a-kind system with no direct cost to the state of Georgia. When the system became operational on January 1, 1999, the public gained unprecedented free access to information within the office of the superior court clerk through search terminals installed by the Authority. Additionally, the business community gained 24-hour, seven-day-a-week desktop access to official land records through the Internet (by subscription). The Real Estate Deed Project contains the following elements:  
  • computer access to deed indexes in all 159 counties;
     
  • integration of all 159 counties into an on-line statewide system;
     
  • inclusion of standards for files, fields, screen layouts, report layouts and design;
     
  • standardization of all printed indexes statewide; and
     
  • integration of six years of historical real estate deed data for inclusion on the statewide system. 

Since passage of the enabling legislation, the Authority has developed and implemented the only statewide intranet network in state government. Additionally, images of the corresponding real estate instruments (from participating counties) are currently being added to the on-line system.
