Making sense of a Chatham County parcel card
Owner fields on county records aren't always a person: a trust or LLC on a tract close to Bloomingdale owns the land itself. The mailing address on a county record tells a story: a management company in the field frequently means rental or investment ground in Chatham County, common with inherited land around Garden City. Owner names on the Chatham County map reflect the assessor's last update, which means a deed filed this season may be missing.
Proof of ownership vs. the tax record
The parcel map is a tax record, so proof of ownership in Chatham County is the recorded deed. If the Chatham County record lists no document number, search the grantor-grantee index by the owner's name.

If the county record shows two names joined by 'and' or '&', the tract close to Port Wentworth may be held jointly, so both owners may need to sign any agreement. Delinquent taxes on a county tract close to Savannah can signal an owner who may be open to selling, or a title problem to sort out first.
