Getting started with the Dunwoody property search
Use the DeKalb County ArcGIS parcel map for a Dunwoody property search; addresses, names and parcel numbers all work.
Getting to the right map
Begin with the DeKalb County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes every tax parcel around Decatur and Tucker.

Dunwoody, GA: the basics
Dunwoody lies within DeKalb County, Georgia, so its parcels are on the county's map. With a lot near Tucker, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Lots just outside the town limits near Clarkston generally answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Before you lean on the lines
Listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on land around Doraville. Near Decatur, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Reading the owner field
For an LLC on a parcel near Chamblee, the state registry names who receives mail for it. "Estate of" on a record near Brookhaven often points to an open probate, and the executor handles questions.
Places you'll see on the map
Decatur holds the county offices, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Doraville, Chamblee, Brookhaven, and Tucker, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 762,992 people call DeKalb County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 268 square miles. DeKalb County was formed in 1822, and some chains of title near Doraville are long.

Contacting an owner politely
