Finding a lot on the Stone Mountain GIS map
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, and for Stone Mountain that means the DeKalb County ArcGIS parcel map.
Where the parcel data lives

For property near Tucker, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every records desk in the county will want it.
Stone Mountain and the county around it
Stone Mountain lies within DeKalb County, Georgia, which means parcel data comes from the county. For acreage around Clarkston, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, while the county keeps the tax map.
