When a deed near Tucker says lot and block, you'll need the Doraville plat map to make sense of it. This Doraville guide covers: where to request a copy, plat versus tax map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Tracking down the Doraville plat map
For land around Brookhaven, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
The free map to start with
Your first stop is the DeKalb County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes every tax parcel in the county, Chamblee included. For a home near Clarkston, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. On ground around Tucker, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Getting answers from the right desk
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Clarkston are handled by the county Board of Tax Assessors, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Chamblee are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
Where Doraville fits in
Doraville is part of DeKalb County, Georgia, which means parcel data comes from the county. For a tract near Pine Lake, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the town limits near Clarkston often follows county rules instead.
A word on accuracy
Acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real lines on land around Dunwoody. Owner names and values update on a schedule, so a fresh transfer around Brookhaven can take weeks to appear.
DeKalb County in a few facts
Decatur serves as the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Chamblee, Dunwoody, Brookhaven, and Tucker. Roughly 762,992 people live in DeKalb County (Census estimate, 2023) across roughly 268 square miles. DeKalb County was formed in 1822, and some chains of title near Chamblee are long. Places such as South River and Nancy Creek help you orient on the aerial around Clarkston.
Plat map vs. parcel map
If the tax map and plat differ near Brookhaven, go with the plat and a surveyor's work.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Brookhaven, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Tucker with its ID is a good backup.
Reading the plat sheet
Recorded easements around Dunwoody stay with the land when it sells; check the plat notes and any covenants.
Getting a copy
If the land is near Chamblee, some counties put plat images online, otherwise call or visit with the reference; small fees are common.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
DeKalb County meets Clayton County, Fulton County, Gwinnett County, Henry County, and Rockdale County, all with their own assessor records. Ground near Chamblee that runs to the line may be split across two assessors' files, so check the neighboring map too. In and around Tucker, our state page lists every bordering county map across Georgia.
Reading the legal description
Tracts outside towns near Dunwoody are often described by metes and bounds, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Subdivision lots in Dunwoody usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Chamblee when you talk to a surveyor.
When there's no plat
Rural land near Brookhaven that was never subdivided is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
Replats and vacations
Lots near Tucker can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; street vacations near Chamblee show up in the records too.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Tucker are filed with the Clerk of Superior Court. For land near Tucker, use the document number from the tax record to skip a name search.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
