Owner, value and acreage

The paper trail behind a parcel
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for land near Hampton are kept by the Clerk of Superior Court. For land near Stockbridge, have ready the instrument number shown in the record panel so staff can find the deed fast.
Using it on a phone
