Find the official Georgia property record before asking to hunt.

Georgia's Department of Revenue maintains an official directory of county online property-record paths and county tax-office sites.

A parcel, tax, or deed record is not permission to enter the land or proof that one named person controls every hunting right.

The Georgia path

Use the record for orientation—not authorization.

Choose the county in the state directory, follow its property-record link, and confirm the parcel and any apparent owner with the county assessor before making a permission request.

What you can verify

Official office contact

Administration: County based
Record authority: The county Board of Tax Assessors is responsible for valuation records; recorded deeds are maintained separately by county court clerks.
Owner-name access: Owner-name availability varies by county, municipality, or portal.
Freshness: County websites and record systems are maintained locally, and the state says it is not responsible for their content or maintenance.

What still needs checking

County assessment data can lag deeds, and online capabilities differ. Parcel maps are not surveys, while a taxpayer or owner label does not prove current title, hunting-right control, access, or permission.

Official-use restriction: Use public details only to contact a likely rights holder about one parcel; do not republish or bulk-collect personal information.

A current owner, co-owner, tenant, property manager, trust representative, or hunting-rights lessee may be the relevant decision-maker. Ask directly and do not treat silence, a map label, or a prior invitation as approval.

From record to respectful request

Do not turn public records into mass outreach.

Research one relevant property, use a lawful and respectful channel, explain the narrow hunt you want to discuss, and make “no” easy.

1. Recheck the property and county

Confirm that the record belongs to the parcel you meant to research and reopen the live source near the time of contact. Do not navigate by generalized tax-map lines in the field.

2. Ask who controls hunting access

A name or tax-mailing record can begin the inquiry; it cannot settle co-ownership, occupancy, management, an existing lease, or a separate transfer of hunting rights.

3. Define the exact request

Name the hunters, species, lawful method, dates, scouting, equipment, parking, entry, boundaries, guests, and retrieval plan. Do not enter first and ask later.

4. Use the official written record

Requirements vary. Open the Georgia written-permission requirements, then confirm every current state, local, and property-specific rule and form.
