Boundary surveys, ALTA surveys, site plans and construction staking in Fayette County. Licensed Georgia surveyor serving Fayetteville and Peachtree City.
If you are weighing a call about a Fayette County parcel, start with how we work. S&S Land Surveying runs from a single office at 549 West Ave in Cedartown and travels south of Atlanta into Fayette County for survey work. There is no Fayette office. What makes the trip worth it is familiarity with the record: we read and retrace Georgia's district and land lot grid, the framework every Fayette County deed and plat is tied to, as routine work.
S&S Land Surveying LLC was founded at the end of 2021 by William "Bart" Sims, who brings more than 40 years of surveying experience to the work, and the firm holds 4.9 stars from 50+ Google reviews. Our licensed Georgia surveyor covers boundary surveys, ALTA/NSPS land title surveys, topographic surveys, site plans, parcel splits and building staking across the county, from Fayetteville and Peachtree City to Tyrone, Brooks and Woolsey.
Fayette County sits in the Piedmont, a landscape of rolling hills, and lies entirely within the upper Flint River sub-basin. Fayetteville is the county seat, and the county holds five incorporated cities: Fayetteville, Peachtree City, Tyrone, Brooks and Woolsey.
Georgia is a metes and bounds state, not a Public Land Survey System state. Land here was granted by the State of Georgia rather than the federal government and handed out through a series of land lotteries, so the federal rectangular survey never applied and there is no township and range to fall back on. A Fayette County description is written in the district and land lot framework the State laid out, and those district and land lot numbers still carry the legal description on deeds and plats recorded today.
Fayette's incorporated cities, Fayetteville, Peachtree City, Tyrone, Brooks and Woolsey, all sit wholly within the county, so a city address and the recording county line up here rather than pulling apart the way they can where a city crosses a boundary. The land lot and district numbers from the original survey still carry the legal description on deeds and plats recorded today, and following those calls back to the grid is how an older Fayette boundary gets retraced.
Under O.C.G.A. § 44-2-1, deeds are recorded with the Clerk of Superior Court of the county where the land lies, which for a Fayette parcel is the Clerk of Superior Court of Fayette County in Fayetteville. Plats fall under O.C.G.A. § 15-6-67, the Georgia Plat Act: the clerk files and records plats, plats must meet the standards of the State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, sheet sizes run from a minimum of 8.5 by 11 inches to a maximum of 24 by 36 inches, and a subdivision plat cannot be recorded until the planning commission or governing authority has approved it. County property records are published at qpublic.net/ga/fayette.
Fayette runs from established residential communities to commercial corridors, and on commercial deals the ALTA/NSPS land title survey is usually the item a closing waits on. If a lender or title underwriter has asked for one, raise it early: the Table A items are agreed before the crew mobilizes and they set the scope of the field work.
