PT61 Form

PT61 Form

When a property changes ownership, a deed is used to complete the transfer. Deeds are then filed on record with the county clerk. Some states require additional transfer forms to accompany deeds submitted for recording. Georgia uses the PT-61 form. All deeds must have a PT-61 form attached to be recorded in Georgia. The PT-61 transfer form states the seller and buyers information, the sales price and calculates the tax owed. There is a section of the form to choose an exemption code, if one applies. The form is used by the clerk of the circuit court to keep track of transfer taxes paid and owed, as well as who to send the property tax bill to once the transfer is complete. The PT-61 form can be completed online, using the Georgia Superior Clerks Cooperative Authority's e-filing system. Once it is complete, a receipt is printed to submit with the deed. The PT-61 form requires the seller and buyers information, including full names and addresses. Information about the property is required as well. This includes a property address, the county the property is located in and a map parcel number. The map parcel number is found on the legal description on the deed.
