Before you buy a lot near West Point with a plan in mind, look at the LaGrange zoning map early: the zoning district can make or break the plan. Covered here for LaGrange: which office sets the rules for a lot, how to match a parcel to its district, and when a variance or rezoning comes up.
Which office controls the LaGrange zoning map
Within municipal limits, zoning usually comes from the municipality, so a lot in LaGrange follows that code.

City limits and county records
LaGrange is part of Troup County, Georgia, and the county assessor maps its lots. As the county seat, LaGrange hosts the courthouse, so deeds and plats are filed in town.
