Getting started with the McDonough GIS map
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, which makes the Henry County qPublic map the main source for lots in McDonough.
Pulling up a parcel
Go first to the Henry County qPublic map; it covers every assessed parcel from Stockbridge to Locust Grove. For property near Stockbridge, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. Out toward Stockbridge, a pop-up or side panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Printing and saving
Save a screenshot of the lot near Hampton and its record panel, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Henry County borders Butts County, Clayton County, DeKalb County, Newton County, and Rockdale County, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Stockbridge can show up across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map too. In and around Hampton, our state page links every neighboring county map across Georgia.
