Walton County is in the Piedmont east of metro Atlanta, with Monroe as the county seat. It sits between the Atlanta suburbs and Athens, so it holds quiet pastureland and wooded tracts alongside neighborhoods that keep pushing outward.
Communities in the county include Loganville, Social Circle, Between, Good Hope, Jersey, Walnut Grove and Campton.

County Resources
Property records in Georgia come from two county offices: the county tax assessor, who handles assessments, and the Clerk of Superior Court, who records deeds. Both can be reached through the county offices in Monroe. The Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA) keeps the statewide deed index. These official sources can also help with parcel research:
- Walton County government
- GSCCCA (statewide deed and real estate records index)
- Georgia Department of Revenue Local Government Services (property tax)
- USDA Web Soil Survey (soil maps for any parcel)
These are public government resources. We are not affiliated with them.
