Looking at a tract outside Choestoe? Before you call on Union County land for sale, spend some time with the free parcel map and public records.

How to research Union County land for sale
Open tracts on the Union County qPublic map usually carry little or no building value, useful when you scan the area near Chattahoochee National Forest.
The free map to start with
Property in and around Blairsville can be looked up on the Union County qPublic map, which opens without registering. For a home near Suches, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a home near Ivy Log, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county will want it.
On the ground
Visit the tract near Ivy Log at different times, and check cell signal and internet options; none of that shows on a map.
Access, acreage and lines
Acreage on the record is assessed, not surveyed, so a survey for the tract near Ivy Log is worth it.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Blairsville sit with the Clerk of Superior Court. Long-held tracts around Blairsville can sit on many deeds, and a title company is worth hiring on a real sale.
Reading the legal description
Older tracts around Chattahoochee National Forest commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Subdivision lots in Choestoe refer to a recorded plat, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Suches before you request a deed or survey.
A word on accuracy
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not surveyed, so a tree line near Blairsville may sit several feet off the line on screen. For a parcel near Choestoe, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Which office to call
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Ivy Log sit in the index kept by the Clerk of Superior Court, usually searchable by name or document number. Questions about what you can build around Ivy Log are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Ground conditions
Check the tract near Ivy Log on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center for mapped flood zones; wet ground can also show on the National Wetlands Inventory mapper.
Land on the county line
Union County meets Fannin County, Lumpkin County, Towns County, White County, and Cherokee County, NC, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Blairsville may be split across two assessors' files, so open the neighboring map as well. For a tract near Ivy Log, our state page lists each bordering county map for Georgia.

Ask the county or town office near Blairsville what can be built and whether the land can be split before you commit.
