Public Records in Georgia

Georgia public records are governed by the Georgia Open Records Act, which gives residents and the public the right to access government documents and records. From property ownership and court records to business filings and vital statistics, Georgia maintains extensive public databases across its 159 counties. Georgia has the second-highest county count in the U.S., and most superior court clerks publish civil, criminal, and real-estate records through individual county portals or the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority.
