A Marietta property search: start here
Open the Cobb County ArcGIS parcel map to start; addresses, names and parcel numbers all work.
Getting to the right map
Begin with the Cobb County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each assessed parcel from Mableton to Powder Springs. For a home near Mableton, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. In and around Smyrna, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Smyrna sit with the Clerk of Superior Court. For a tract near Acworth, use the book and page from the tax record so staff can find the deed fast.
Cobb County in a few facts
Marietta holds the county offices, where most land records are kept. Smaller places on the map include Smyrna, Kennesaw, Mableton, and Powder Springs, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 776,743 people live in Cobb County (Census estimate, 2023) across some 340 square miles. Cobb County dates to 1832, and some chains of title near Smyrna are long. Landmarks such as Noonday Creek, Allatoona Creek, and Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area are easy to spot when you zoom out from Austell.
A word on accuracy
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not measured on the ground, so the edge of a yard near Acworth often sits a few yards off the line on screen. Around Kennesaw, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Values and taxes
The record for a parcel near Kennesaw often lists value and tax amounts; the county Board of Tax Assessors sets values and the treasurer or collector bills taxes.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Cobb County borders Bartow County, Cherokee County, Douglas County, Fulton County, and Paulding County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Austell can be split across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map too. Out toward Austell, our state page links each neighboring county map for Georgia.
Legal descriptions in Georgia
Older tracts around Austell commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, which trace the boundary call by call. Subdivision lots in Smyrna are typically described by lot and block, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Austell for any title or survey request.
City limits and county records
Marietta sits in Cobb County, Georgia, so its parcels are on the county's map. Marietta is also the county seat, so deeds and plats are filed in town. On ground around Mableton, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits toward Acworth usually answers to county rules rather than the town's.
What the owner name means
If a company owns land near Powder Springs, look it up in the state's business registry. "Estate of" on a record near Smyrna often points to an open probate, so the personal representative is the contact.
Proof of ownership
Bring the document number shown for the parcel near Powder Springs so the lookup is fast; hire a title company before money changes hands.
Offices that can help
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Mableton looks off are handled by the county Board of Tax Assessors, which maintains the tax roll. Building or septic questions for a lot near Acworth need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
Neighbors and nearby parcels

Writing to an owner
A short letter to the mailing address on the record works better than knocking unannounced about a tract near Powder Springs.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Austell, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Acworth helps when you meet an owner or agent.
