Fayette County Closing Attorney

Peachtree City's planned-community structure brings its own layer — association approvals, cart-path easements and covenants that are worth reading before closing rather than after.

Closing in Fayette County

Deeds and security deeds for Fayette County are recorded with the Clerk of Superior Court in Fayetteville. Recording is a flat $25 per instrument statewide under O.C.G.A. § 15-6-77, so a typical purchase with financing records two instruments — the deed and the security deed — for $50.

Georgia's transfer tax and intangible recording tax are set by statute and do not vary by county. What does vary is the millage rate, which affects your property tax proration at closing and your bill afterwards. Your Fayette County tax commissioner publishes the current rate.

Georgia requires an attorney — here is what that means for you

In Fayette County, as everywhere in Georgia, a licensed attorney must conduct the real estate closing. Examining title, resolving what the search finds and preparing the documents that transfer your property are the practice of law.

We handle all of it in one office: title examination and curative work, the closing itself, escrow and disbursement, and recording with the Clerk in Fayetteville.
