# O.C.G.A. § 36-6-6. Recordation of bond to bind third parties; effect of recordation after 30 days.

As against the interests of third parties acting in good faith and without notice who may have acquired a transfer or lien binding the real estate of any surety on the bond of any county treasurer situated in any county other than that in which the treasurer holds office, no such real estate of the surety shall be bound from the date of the bond unless the bond is recorded in the county.
