The law of Georgia mandates that plots of land or parcels be surveyed prior to the issuance of any deed conveying the ownership of said property. Most states require a survey before a property can be titled.
Georgia Code § 44-1-15 (2023) - Removal or destruction of survey monuments prohibited; exceptions; penalties :: 2023 Georgia Code :: US Codes and Statutes :: US Law :: Justia.
Property surveys are rarely required when buying a home but are often a good idea to ensure you're paying for what you think you're paying for. The last thing you want is to close the deal on a home, only to discover that what you purchased is not what the seller promised.

Georgia does issue Certificates of Authorization. We do not have a Right of Entry Law. The DOT has the right to enter properties for specific purpose and surveying is one of the reasons. When a private land owner will not grant permission for a survey, a Commendation for Access proceeding is required.
A new survey is not always required for a real estate transaction, particularly if no improvements have been made to the property and/or if sellers are selling the same piece of land that they purchased originally.
