The Powder Springs plat map: start here

The viewer Cobb County publishes
Go first to the Cobb County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers every assessed parcel around Marietta and Acworth. Around Marietta, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For land near Acworth, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each office in the county will want it.
Powder Springs and the county around it
Powder Springs is part of Cobb County, Georgia, so its parcels are on the county's map. In and around Mableton, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits out by Marietta generally answers to county rules instead.
A word on accuracy
Listed acreage is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary for a parcel near Kennesaw. Out toward Marietta, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for land near Smyrna are filed with the Clerk of Superior Court. For a home near Austell, have ready the instrument number from the tax record to skip a name search.
Two different maps
The Cobb County ArcGIS parcel map draws parcels for taxes, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
When a plat changes
An amended plat may change lots around Kennesaw, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Who handles what
For assessment questions about property around Austell belong with the county Board of Tax Assessors, which maintains the tax roll. Building or septic questions for a lot near Austell are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Getting your bearings
Marietta serves as the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Mableton, Smyrna, and Kennesaw, each with its own cluster of lots. About 776,743 people call Cobb County home (Census estimate, 2023) across roughly 340 square miles. Cobb County dates to 1832, and some chains of title near Acworth are long.

When there's no plat
Rural land near Acworth that was never subdivided may have no plat at all; look for a recorded survey for land near Mableton.
