Gather What You'll Need Homeowner's name. Property address. Property's parcel ID. Proof of residency, such as a copy of valid Georgia driver's license and a copy of vehicle registration. Recorded deed for new owners, if county records have not been updated. Trust document and affidavit, if the property is in a trust.
