For a parcel near Stone Mountain, a Clarkston property search on the official viewer shows who the tax bill goes to. What this Clarkston guide covers: which viewer to use, how to read owner names, and the next step when you need proof.
Getting started with the Clarkston property search
Use the DeKalb County ArcGIS parcel map for a Clarkston property search; try the address first, then the owner's name.
Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the DeKalb County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers each tax parcel from Stone Mountain to Decatur. Out toward Pine Lake, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For land near Decatur, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Reading the legal description
Tracts outside towns near Avondale Estates commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Town lots near Decatur usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, which is simpler to follow. Write down the legal description for the tract near Pine Lake when you talk to a surveyor.
Land on the county line
DeKalb County meets Clayton County, Fulton County, Gwinnett County, Henry County, and Rockdale County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Ground near Pine Lake that runs to the line can be split across two assessors' files, so open the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. Out toward Stone Mountain, the Platbookmapper state page lists every neighboring county map for Georgia.
A word on accuracy
The acreage figure is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary for a parcel near Stone Mountain. For a tract near Tucker, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Taxes on the record
Many records show assessed value and taxes for land near Pine Lake; the county Board of Tax Assessors sets values and the treasurer or collector bills taxes.
Context from nearby lots
Click the parcels around the one near Stone Mountain for context on nearby owners and uses; it helps with access and boundary questions.
Clarkston and the county around it
Clarkston lies within DeKalb County, Georgia, so its parcels are on the county's map. In and around Decatur, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Land beyond the town limits toward Decatur usually answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Which office to call
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Chamblee are handled by the county Board of Tax Assessors, since that office keeps the assessment data. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Decatur are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Reading the owner field
Out toward Avondale Estates, the owner field shows who the tax bill names, which may be a person, a trust, a company or an estate. "Estate of" on a record near Tucker often points to an open probate, so the personal representative is the contact.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
For anything that matters, pull the recorded deed from the Clerk of Superior Court; the parcel map near Pine Lake only summarizes it. For land near Stone Mountain, use the instrument number shown in the record panel to skip a name search.
DeKalb County in a few facts
Decatur holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. Smaller places on the map include Pine Lake, Tucker, Avondale Estates, and Stone Mountain. Roughly 762,992 people call DeKalb County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across about 268 square miles. DeKalb County was organized in 1822, so old deeds can run back a long way.

Proof of ownership

Reaching an owner
Say which parcel near Chamblee, what you'd like and your contact details; absentee owners near Tucker often live elsewhere.
Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Avondale Estates, though signal can drop in rural spots. A printout of the tract near Chamblee helps when you meet an owner or agent.
