What the Candler County GIS map shows about lot lines
On rural tracts near Metter, the parcel lines can drift from the fences on the ground, sometimes by more than a few feet.

For a fence, an addition or a dispute in Candler County, budget for a licensed survey; it's the answer a court or a lender will accept.
Acreage and vacant lot search
To use the Candler County GIS map for a vacant land search:
- Follow the roads out of Pulaski with aerials on and mark every tract without a rooftop.
- For the open ground around Pulaski, copy the owner, acreage and mailing address into a simple spreadsheet.
- Trace the frontage on any tract near Metter; without it, access depends on a recorded easement.
- Line up the assessed land values of a few neighboring tracts near Metter to sanity-check an asking price.
- Check the flood layer and ask about septic and permits; open land in Candler County isn't automatically buildable.
