A Georgia dispossessory is the eviction case — filed where the property sits

In Georgia, eviction is a dispossessory action in the magistrate court of the property’s county. We prepare the affidavit from your ledger and lease, file it, and return the case number when the court accepts it. EvictIQ is not a law firm. We do not appear as your lawyer.

What a dispossessory filing has to get right

  • Correct court and division selected by property address
  • Parties and grounds reconciled against the lease and ledger
  • Demand for possession already documented
  • Filing fee handled and receipted; case number returned when accepted

Dispossessory Filing Support

The affidavit the whole case rests on — prepared, filed, and tracked through acceptance.

Eviction Filing Assistance

Standing, court, grounds, and supporting documents aligned before the clerk sees them.

The three things that send a filing back are the wrong court, the wrong parties, and grounds that do not match the ledger.

Questions we hear on this search

Where is a Georgia dispossessory filed?

In the magistrate court of the property’s county — not the landlord’s home county. Fulton, Gwinnett, DeKalb, Cobb, Clayton, Henry, Cherokee, Hall, and Atlanta addresses each have a specific filing path.

Is a dispossessory the same as a writ of possession?

No. The dispossessory is the case. Judgment, if entered, is still not possession. A separate writ of possession has to be applied for and executed.

Do you represent me at the dispossessory hearing?

No. EvictIQ is not a law firm and does not appear as your lawyer. We coordinate the file and the hearing package. When representation is required, licensed attorneys in EvictIQ’s attorney network handle the legal work.
