What Do Fulton County Property Records Contain?

Fulton County property records contain different property details that every owner should know. This includes property deeds, tax records, licenses and permits, maintenance and insurance records, mortgage records, and surveys.

Property Deeds

Property deeds are one of the most popular documents obtained in Georgia, and persons who seek them expect to find the legal description of the document. There are different types of property deeds, and they include:

  • General Warranty Deeds: A general warranty deed is a standard for property transfers and is used in all residential purchases. It shows that the grantor has cleared all charges and has earned the right to transfer ownership to another. This is an advantage to property buyers as it offers high certainty and protection from claims against the ownership title.
  • Special Warranty Deeds: Although it is a less beneficial transfer of ownership to a buyer, it ensures there have been no extra property charges during the ownership process. Some property sellers usually offer special warranty deeds when they are confident of their right to transfer ownership. However, the property's history before the transfer of ownership may be quite uncertain.
  • Quitclaim Deeds: Quitclaim deeds are usually used in transactions where property ownership is uncontested, as all parties know the history details. This can also be used in cases where family members exchange property, and there is less or no assurance of freedom from legal disputes. An example is when a partner who leaves the marriage without financial commitment must sign a quitclaim deed to avoid future liability.
  • Deed instead of Foreclosure: This is a common type of deed used when borrowers default on their mortgages to avoid the effect of the foreclosure process on existing credit history. If a home is lost to foreclosure, the owner's credit score will most likely reduce drastically. This deed is quite important to lenders because foreclosures usually take a long time and involve extra fees.
