Finding a lot on the Toccoa GIS map

Where the parcel data lives

In and around Avalon, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. In and around Martin, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Keeping a record

What the map can't tell you
