The Georgia portion of the State Plane Coordinate System as defined by the National Geodetic Survey, based on the National Spatial Reference System, for defining and stating the geographic positions or locations of points on the surface of the earth within this state shall be known and designated as the ‘Georgia State Plane Coordinate System.’ […]
As established for use in the East Zone, the Georgia State Plane Coordinate System shall be named; and, in any land description in which it is used, shall be designated as the “Georgia State Plane Coordinate System East Zone.” As established for use in the West Zone, the Georgia State Plane Coordinate System shall be […]
The plane coordinate values for a point on the earth’s surface, used to express the geographic position or location of such point in the appropriate zone of the Georgia State Plane Coordinate System, shall consist of two distances expressed in either meters and decimals of a meter or, following conversion as provided in Code Section […]
When any tract of land to be defined by a single description extends from one into the other of the coordinate zones established in Code Section 44-4-21, the positions of all points on its boundaries may be referred to either of the two zones, the zone which is used being specifically named in the description. […]
No coordinates based on either Georgia State Plane Coordinate System purporting to define the position of a point on a land boundary shall be presented to be recorded in any public land records or deed records unless such point has been connected by survey to a monumented horizontal control station that is identified and has […]
The use of the term “Georgia State Plane Coordinate System East Zone,” “Georgia State Plane Coordinate System West Zone,” on any map, report of survey, or other document shall be limited to coordinates based on the Georgia State Plane Coordinate Systems as defined in this article. History. Ga. L. 1945, p. 218, § 6; Code […]
The term “Grid North, Georgia East Zone” refers to the fixed north direction in the East Zone, being Geodetic North for the central meridian of that zone. The term “Grid North, Georgia West Zone” refers to the fixed north direction in the West Zone, being Geodetic North for the central meridian of that zone. The […]
Any conversion of distances between the meter and the foot shall be based upon the length of the meter (exactly) equals 3.280839895 feet. History. Code 1981, § 44-4-28 , enacted by Ga. L. 1985, p. 650, § 1; Code 1981, § 44-4-27 , as redesignated by Ga. L. 2022, p. 674, § 1/SB 581. The […]
Nothing contained in this article shall require any purchaser or mortgagee to rely on a description, any part of which depends exclusively upon the Georgia State Plane Coordinate System. Nothing in this article shall be so construed as to require any person, firm, or corporation to use this system of coordinates to obtain or secure […]
Any legal description prepared under the provisions of the Georgia Coordinate System provided by an Act approved March 6, 1945 (Ga. L. 1945, p. 218), and continued as a part of this Code until July 1, 1985, shall not be invalid based on the use of such coordinate system. Any continual use of legal descriptions […]
The use of the term “Georgia State Plane Coordinate System” on any map, report of survey, legal description, or other document shall be limited to coordinates based on the Georgia State Plane Coordinate System as defined by this article. The provisions of this article shall not be construed to prohibit the appropriate use of other […]
