Closing in Henry County

Deeds and security deeds for Henry County are recorded with the Clerk of Superior Court in McDonough. Recording is a flat $25 per instrument statewide under O.C.G.A. § 15-6-77, so a typical purchase with financing records two instruments — the deed and the security deed — for $50.

Georgia's transfer tax and intangible recording tax are set by statute and do not vary by county. What does vary is the millage rate, which affects your property tax proration at closing and your bill afterwards. Your Henry County tax commissioner publishes the current rate.

Georgia requires an attorney — here is what that means for you

In Henry County, as everywhere in Georgia, a licensed attorney must conduct the real estate closing. Examining title, resolving what the search finds and preparing the documents that transfer your property are the practice of law.

We handle all of it in one office: title examination and curative work, the closing itself, escrow and disbursement, and recording with the Clerk in McDonough.

Know your numbers first

Run your figures before you sign anything — our seller net sheet, transfer tax calculator and intangible tax calculator use the current Georgia statutes, including the HB 586 change that took effect July 1, 2025.
