PERMITREPORTER GEORGIA

COVERAGE — READ BEFORE YOU RELY ON THIS

WHAT’S ON THE SHEET,
AND WHAT ISN’T.

Every county publishes a different slice of the public record, and some systems block collection outright. This page says exactly which records PermitReporter collects per county — and names what it cannot see, so a quiet feed is never mistaken for a quiet county.

CHEROKEE COUNTY

Parcel count from 2026-07-13 GIS probe; subdivision reference is grouped from parcel attributes.

Foreclosure notice source terms prohibit automated collection Tax sale & excess funds county does not self-publish sale or excess-funds list Recorded sale open parcel layer has deed book/page but no sale date or price Permit LIVE Rezoning case LIVE County meeting no CivicClerk tenant identified Land clearing LIVE Road project LIVE New business LIVE Storm event LIVE Flood map change FEMA robots.txt disallows /arcgis Court opinion opinions rarely county-attributable — see the statewide sheet New plat reference subdivisions only; no plat activity collector Code enforcement trial-court portals block simple automation Public notice not collected

COBB COUNTY

Parcel count from 2026-07-13 GIS probe; ParcelSales layer supplies dated, stated-price records. Cobb's GIS distribution policy restricts reproduction outside the recipient organization; keep sale and GIS-derived reference rows internal pending written publication clearance.

HALL COUNTY

Parcel count is the 2026-07-14 public parcel_owner ArcGIS row count, not a cadastral polygon count. Meeting coverage is City of Gainesville CivicClerk, not all Hall County bodies. Hall GIS license language restricts distribution outside the licensee organization.

NOT COLLECTED ANYWHERE — YET

Foreclosure notices: Georgia publishes these only in county newspapers, and their terms require a paid data license — on the roadmap, not on the sheet yet. Also missing everywhere: county trial-court lawsuits (every portal in these seven counties blocks automated reading), recorded deed and covenant images (statewide index requires a paid account whose terms prohibit collection), HOA dues (not public in Georgia), and anything behind a homeowner login. Where it matters, the record page says so instead of pretending.
