O.C.G.A. 44-2-1 (2010)
44-2-1. Where and when deeds recorded; priority as to subsequent deeds taken without notice from same vendor


Every deed conveying lands shall be recorded in the office of the clerk of the superior court of the county where the land is located. A deed may be recorded at any time; but a prior unrecorded deed loses its priority over a subsequent recorded deed from the same vendor when the purchaser takes such deed without notice of the existence of the prior deed.
