A Georgia land contract contains the terms surrounding the purchase and sale agreement of a land/lot between two individuals. Both parties, usually a seller and a buyer, shall stipulate all relevant information about the land and any financial contingencies on the contract. Land contracts include everything from the agreed-upon purchase price to the set deadlines for closing. Once both parties accept the terms, they must execute the contract by providing their signatures and schedule a closing date on which the property deed is to be transferred.

Where to Record? (GA Code § 44-2-1) – All deeds must be filed in the Clerk of the Superior Court Office located within the jurisdiction of the property.
