Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 150 mine sites inside the county: 74 past producers, now closed, 63 prospects or occurrences that were never worked, 10 sites producing when the record was made, 3 sites with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 44 holes drawn inside the county, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Aluminum; Iron; Clay.
A point in either file is a location, not a property line: the sheet shows the opening on the surface, not the rooms under it. The record that shows what runs under a parcel is the mine map. The OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds scanned underground mine maps and answers requests for a named mine or an area. Georgia publishes no abandoned mine inventory; the Dahlonega gold mines are not mapped by the state online.
Georgia abandoned mine maps ranks every county and town in the state by the workings recorded inside it, names the office that holds the mine maps, and says what to do if the ground moves.
Disclaimer: The mine information here is for general information only. Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there. Check with the mine map office named here before you rely on it, and have a qualified engineer look at any ground you are worried about.

A request about a house, a court dispute, an estate, or a county commission decision can lead to different custodians in Rome. Start by writing the document you want and the event that produced it. The Superior Court Clerk keeps land instruments and the court's civil and criminal files; that combination makes the clerk relevant to both courthouse research and recorded property transactions. Superior Court Clerk responsibilities.
County commission minutes belong to another office. The County Clerk records the Board of Commissioners' acts, orders, and proceedings and supports county management. Ask for the meeting date, agenda item, resolution, or contract rather than sending that office a request for a divorce decree. When a subject spans agencies, separate the administrative records from the judicial records in your working notes. County Clerk records responsibilities.
The Superior Court Clerk describes separate civil, criminal, and domestic dockets. Use the parties' names, case number when known, and the kind of proceeding to identify the file. A divorce researcher should specify the signed final decree or another named filing; asking for a marriage record describes a different product. Keep the docket entry and the actual document together when recording what happened in a case. Source: floydsuperiorcourt.com
The clerk publishes different charges for unassisted copies, assisted copies, certified copies, and electronic transmission. Ask for the requested document's page count and the format you need before paying. A filing charge starts or records a proceeding; it does not measure the price of an existing case copy. The posted schedule also advises contacting the clerk for the amount applicable to a particular transaction. Court copy and filing fee schedule.
Deeds, security instruments, liens, and related real estate documents are filed and indexed through the Superior Court Clerk. For a chain of ownership, collect the recorded instrument identifiers and compare the legal description across transfers. A street address is a useful starting clue, but a legal description and the parties to a transaction are stronger references when a parcel has been divided or an address has changed.

Use the Assessors' Office for the valuation side of property research. Its explanation distinguishes appraised fair market value, assessed value, and the tax rate adopted by taxing authorities. The Tax Commissioner uses the digest and applicable rate for billing and collection. Keep an assessment finding, a tax bill, and a recorded deed as separate evidence so the source of each ownership, value, or payment statement remains visible. Floyd County valuation and tax roles.
Floyd County Probate Court handles wills, estate administration, guardianships, and conservatorships. Its official court page links Georgia Probate Records and describes online records from 2006 to the present, including estate, guardianship, traffic, marriage, and safekeeping matters. Use the decedent's or subject's name with the proceeding type. If the online result does not contain the document, ask the court what portion of the file can be supplied. Probate Court record access and coverage.
A missing online match does not tell you whether an older file exists. For historical work, explain the approximate event date and any alternate spelling, then ask which index or retained file the clerk can consult. Separate the date of death, the date a petition was filed, and the date a court order was entered. Those events can generate different references within the same estate investigation.

Marriage licensing is handled by Probate Court by appointment. The instructions distinguish Georgia residents from couples in which neither applicant resides in Georgia: for nonresidents, the license must come from the county where the ceremony will occur. The court also requires current identification and relevant prior marriage documentation. Use the court's application and copy-order links according to whether you are arranging a ceremony or documenting a completed marriage. Floyd County marriage instructions.
The marriage instructions say licenses are issued Monday through Friday from 8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with arrival before 4:15 p.m. to complete paperwork and all payments made before the cashier closes. The listed license prices are $67 without counseling or $30 with the specified counseling certification. Those prices are license products and should not be entered as certified marriage-copy prices.

The Sheriff's FAQ directs readers to its inmate portal for charges and bond information. For a release-date question, it directs callers to booking staff because release depends on court orders and other paperwork. Keep a roster result with the date you viewed it, and obtain the court disposition separately if you need to establish the outcome of a charge. Custody information and case outcomes answer different questions. Sheriff custody and bond guidance.
The Sheriff lists its jail location at 2526 New Calhoun Highway NE in Rome and distinguishes booking, administration, and operator extensions on its contact page. Its FAQ also identifies a courthouse office. Direct a request for an incident report or booking material to the agency that created it, and describe the person, incident, and date sought. A countywide place name alone may not identify the arresting agency. Sheriff contact and booking routes.
The Sheriff's Civil and Court Services Division serves civil process and temporary protection orders and carries out courthouse security duties. A service inquiry should identify the parties and the papers being served, while a request for the underlying filed complaint or order should go to the court custodian. Keeping those requests distinct helps explain a return of service without treating it as the complete case record. Civil and Court Services responsibilities.
If the Sheriff left a door hanger, the official FAQ directs the recipient to call the civil service contact so delivery arrangements can be made. The same FAQ has a separate route for questions about whether a restraining order or warrant was served. Save the service reference alongside the court case number. A service status response and a later court ruling may have different dates and custodians. Source: floydsheriffga.gov
The Sheriff offers local administrative services at its administration area. Fingerprint cards are appointment based, cost $5, and are returned to the customer; the office expressly says it does not process the cards. The background-check service costs $10 and requires identification and a consent form. A fingerprint collection charge must therefore remain separate from a state criminal-history processing fee in any comparison. Sheriff fingerprint and background-check services.
Both services are listed as available Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., excluding holidays, with payment by card or check. Confirm which result a receiving employer or licensing agency requires before choosing a service. The record category matters as much as the collection method, particularly when a recipient requests a named state or federal product instead of a locally issued result. Source: floydsheriffga.gov
The County Clerk provides an official open-records request route and maintains county commission records under government retention schedules. Describe existing records with dates, subjects, names, or meeting references. State whether inspection, an electronic copy, or a certified copy meets your purpose. For commission research, request the adopted action and supporting attachments separately when the agenda description does not reveal the full decision. Source: floydcountyga.gov
The Sheriff's administrative instructions also direct individual and attorney requests through the county open-records route and ask for identifying detail such as names and incident date ranges. Keep a copy of the request and any clarification. If a response directs you to another custodian, retain that referral with the case or property references so your next request can identify the particular document still missing.
