Search Systems PT-61 Index

The PT-61 Index contains real-time sales and tax data based on the official source of property transfer tax data in Georgia. Before a deed, security instrument, or other writing can be recorded in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court, a PT-61 form must be completed and the real estate transfer tax paid. The information on this form, such as sales price and buyer and seller addresses, is very useful to the real estate and financial community. By leveraging and cross-referencing the data to the Deed and Plat indexes, users can locate and access data more efficiently. The PT-61 Index is a valuable and convenient resource for realtors, appraisers, investors and homeowners.

Realtors can benefit from the PT-61 Index by getting the most up-to-date and accurate real estate sales data. By leveraging this data, realtors can perform other searches that may be beneficial to them, such as a lien search to determine if the property or parties have liens filed against them. Homeowners can use the PT-61 Index to track sales in their area. Such data is useful in determining an accurate listing price, or perhaps if they need to dispute a property tax appraisal. Additionally, appraisers and investors can determine comps that contain official sales data. These are just a few examples of how this index is used.
