View City Boundaries

In Georgia cities report the geographic boundary changes to the US Census Bureau (not to the DCA). The Census Bureau has an online interactive map with city boundaries (aka places).

Boundary and Annexation Survey

Cities that annex or deannex are required by state law to particpate in the US Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). BAS updates the boundaries on the Census maps that are used for the administration of programs and services, for planning, elections, and for population and housing counts.
