Georgia at a glance for landowners
- Deeds are recorded with the clerk of the superior court.
- Georgia has 159 counties.
- Recorded sale prices are generally searchable at the county level.
- Water law is riparian: owners of land touching a stream or lake have reasonable-use rights, sometimes with permits.
Where Georgia land sells
Fastest in and around Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Columbus, and Macon. Counties owners ask about most: Fulton, Gwinnett, Cherokee, Forsyth, Chatham, Ware, and Charlton. Remote parcels, far from a paved road, power or water, get a different review than lots on the edge of town.
Regional markets across Georgia
- North Georgia mountains: Blue Ridge foothills in Lumpkin, Dawson, Rabun and Union counties, with cabin, view and creek parcels where steep slopes affect buildability.
- Metro Atlanta fringe: Exurban counties such as Jackson, Walton, Bartow and Hall, where acreage is steadily converted to subdivisions.
- South Georgia: Flat farmland, pine plantations and hunting land in the south, valued by irrigation and timber.
Georgia land we review
Planted pine timberland across the southern half of the state, north Georgia mountain and lake lots, exurban acreage in Atlanta's outer counties, and hunting plantations in the Red Hills near Thomasville.
What affects the value of Georgia land
South Georgia timber and hunting land is affordable per acre; north Georgia mountain lots and Atlanta-fringe acreage carry a large premium.
Selling land in Georgia: transfer taxes and land-tax rules
Georgia's real estate transfer tax is based on the sale price at $1 for the first $1,000 or fractional part of $1,000, and 10 cents for each additional $100 or fractional part of $100 (O.C.G.A. 48-6-1 through 48-6-10). The Department of Revenue says the seller is liable for it, though the parties frequently agree in the sales contract that the buyer will pay, so decide that when you sign. A PT-61 transfer tax declaration is filed with the deed.
Georgia land values: what USDA data shows
USDA measured average farm real estate (all land and buildings on farms) in Georgia at $4,950 per acre in 2026, up 27% from $3,900 in 2022. That ranks Georgia 23 of the 48 states USDA reports, and it is 10% above the U.S. average of $4,500.
Pasture (grazing land), the closest USDA series to undeveloped rural land, averaged $5,100 per acre in 2026, up 18% since 2022 and above the U.S. pasture average of $2,000.
These are averages across working farms and ranches, not asking prices for any one parcel. A homesite near a town, a lot with road and power, or a parcel with water can sell well above these figures, and remote land with no access can sell well below them. Use them to see which way the market is moving and how it compares with the next state over, then check recent sales and current listings for the area you are looking at.
For comparison, USDA farm real estate averages per acre in the bordering states:
- Florida: $9,150 per acre in 2026 (85% higher)
- Alabama: $4,250 per acre in 2026 (14% lower)
- Tennessee: $6,500 per acre in 2026 (31% higher)
- North Carolina: $5,750 per acre in 2026 (16% higher)
- South Carolina: $4,900 per acre in 2026 (about the same)
