A Stonecrest property search: start here
When land near Stone Mountain has no street number, click the parcel on the aerial.
Pulling up a parcel
Go first to the DeKalb County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every tax parcel from Lithonia to Clarkston. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, which applies near Clarkston as much as anywhere. For a tract near Clarkston, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Sections, lots and bearings
Rural deeds near Lithonia commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Platted lots around Clarkston usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Write down the legal description for the tract near Clarkston for any title or survey request.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Stone Mountain, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Stone Mountain and its lines is a good backup.
Land on the county line
DeKalb County borders Clayton County, Fulton County, Gwinnett County, Henry County, and Rockdale County, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Pine Lake can show up in two county records, so open the neighboring map too. For land near Stone Mountain, the Platbookmapper state page links each bordering county map across Georgia.
The paper trail behind a parcel
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Stone Mountain are kept by the Clerk of Superior Court. For a parcel near Lithonia, have ready the book and page from the tax record and the lookup takes minutes.
Values and taxes
The record for a parcel near Stone Mountain often lists value and tax amounts; the county Board of Tax Assessors sets values and the treasurer or collector bills taxes.
Where Stonecrest fits in
Stonecrest sits in DeKalb County, Georgia, so its parcels are on the county's map. If the land is near Decatur, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the town limits toward Pine Lake generally answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Getting answers from the right desk
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Decatur looks off go to the county Board of Tax Assessors, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Clarkston are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Who the record really names
For an LLC on a parcel near Avondale Estates, the state business entity search usually lists a registered agent. An estate listed as owner near Lithonia usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, and the executor handles questions.

Deeds behind the record
Use the book and page or instrument number from the record near Lithonia so the lookup is fast; a title search is wise before any purchase.
Before you lean on the lines
Listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real corners for a parcel near Pine Lake. In and around Lithonia, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Context from nearby lots
