# O.C.G.A. § 44-2-237. Recordation and notation of plat.

Whenever a plat of the premises which is too large or too intricate for easy transcription on the register of decrees of title or on the certificate of title is a part of the description of the lands or is used to aid description, it shall not be necessary for the clerk to copy such plat on the register of decrees of title or on the certificate of title. In lieu of copying such plat, the clerk shall record it and shall note a reference to the book and page where recorded.

## History

Ga. L. 1917, p. 108, § 102; Code 1933, § 60-618; Ga. L. 1981, p. 1396, § 3; Ga. L. 1992, p. 6, § 44; Ga. L. 2016, p. 193, § 8/HB 1004.

## Amendments

The 2016 amendment, effective January 1, 2017, in the second sentence, deleted “in one of the public record books in his office” following “the clerk shall record it”, and deleted “its existence together with” following “and shall note”; and deleted the former third sentence, which read: “If the holder of the owner’s certificate desires a copy of the plat to be attached as a part of his owner’s certificate, the clerk shall make a certified copy and attach it upon payment of the fee provided for in paragraph (2) of subsection (f) of Code Section 15-6-77.”
