🎯 Professional Skip Tracing Services in Georgia
People Locator Skip Tracing provides comprehensive investigation and people-finding services throughout Georgia. Whether you’re an Atlanta attorney trying to enforce a judgment, a Savannah process server searching for an evasive defendant, or a Macon business owner tracking down someone who owes you money, our professional investigators have the tools and expertise to locate them.
Georgia presents unique skip tracing challenges. As the eighth most populous state with over 10.9 million residents spread across 159 counties—more counties than any state except Texas—Georgia’s geographic and demographic diversity creates opportunities for people to disappear. The massive Atlanta metropolitan area contains over 6 million people, while vast rural areas in South Georgia offer seclusion.
Our investigators understand Georgia’s geography, demographics, court systems, and legal requirements. We know the corporate headquarters concentration in Buckhead and Midtown Atlanta, the military communities around Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning) and Fort Stewart, the logistics hub of Savannah’s port, and the unique characteristics of Georgia’s many rural counties.
Unlike consumer people-search websites, we access professional-grade databases including credit header data, Georgia utility connections from Georgia Power and EMCs, employment databases, and proprietary skip tracing networks.
⚖️ Georgia Judgment Enforcement Laws
Understanding Georgia’s judgment enforcement framework is essential for creditors. Georgia provides moderate protections for debtors while offering effective collection tools.
📋 Judgment Duration & Renewal
📜 Official Code of Georgia § 9-12-60
Georgia judgments are enforceable for 7 years from the date of entry. Judgments may be renewed by bringing an action on the judgment before the 7-year period expires, extending enforceability for another 7 years. Interest accrues at the rate specified in the judgment or the prime rate plus 3% under O.C.G.A. § 7-4-12.
💰 Wage Garnishment Rules
📜 Official Code of Georgia § 18-4-20
Georgia follows federal wage garnishment limits: up to 25% of disposable earnings or the amount exceeding 30 times the federal minimum wage, whichever is less. Georgia uses a “Summons of Garnishment” process, served on the employer through the court. Continuing garnishments in Georgia remain in effect until the judgment is satisfied or the employment ends.
🏠 Georgia Homestead Exemption
📜 Official Code of Georgia § 44-13-100
Georgia’s homestead exemption protects up to $21,500 in equity in a primary residence per individual, or $43,000 for married couples filing jointly. This is relatively modest protection, meaning Georgia homeowners with significant equity may have assets reachable by judgment creditors.
🚗 Vehicle Exemptions
📜 Official Code of Georgia § 44-13-100
Georgia exempts motor vehicles up to $5,000 in equity per individual. Vehicles with equity above this amount may be subject to execution.
⚡ Bank Levies in Georgia
📜 Official Code of Georgia § 18-4-60
Bank account garnishment in Georgia uses the Summons of Garnishment process, served on the financial institution. Georgia provides exemptions for certain funds including Social Security benefits and other federal benefits, but non-exempt funds in bank accounts may be reached.
💡 Georgia’s Collection-Friendly Environment
Georgia’s moderate exemption levels, continuing garnishment process, and 7-year judgment period (with renewal option) create a favorable environment for judgment enforcement. The key is locating the debtor and their assets quickly. Our Georgia skip tracing provides the intelligence needed for successful collection.
📄 Georgia Service of Process Requirements
👤 Personal Service (O.C.G.A. § 9-11-4)
Georgia permits personal service by a sheriff, deputy sheriff, marshal, or any citizen of the United States who is 18 years or older and not a party. Our skip traces identify where subjects live and work.
🏠 Substituted Service (O.C.G.A. § 9-11-4(e)(7))
When personal service cannot be perfected, Georgia allows service by leaving copies at the defendant’s dwelling house with someone of suitable age residing there, or by posting and mailing.
📰 Service by Publication
When defendants cannot be located after diligent search, Georgia courts may authorize service by publication. Our comprehensive skip traces help establish the required due diligence.
