Smyrna Deed Recording Process

To record a deed covering Smyrna property, submit it to the Cobb County Clerk of Superior Court. All documents must comply with O.C.G.A. 44-2-14.

The PT-61 real estate transfer form is required alongside any warranty or quitclaim deed. Submit it at gsccca.org.

eRecording is available through efile.gsccca.org. Electronic submissions typically process in 2-3 business days. Paper mail filings take around 4 weeks.

Watch for these common problems: missing PT-61, only one witness, or no notarization. Any of these will get the document sent back.

Once recorded, the clerk stamps the document with the date and time and assigns a book and page number. That reference identifies the deed in the public record going forward.

If mailing, send to: 70 Haynes Street, Marietta, GA 30090. Call (770) 528-1800 ahead of time to confirm requirements for your specific document type.
