What the map can't tell you
The acreage figure is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners on land around Austell. For a home near Kennesaw, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Where the recorded documents are

Land outside a subdivision
