Sell Land for Data Center Development in Fayette County, Georgia
Fayette County already has a large data center campus, and the City of Fayetteville has since prohibited new ones inside city zoning. If you own land here, the first question is whether your parcel is inside that ban, inside the existing campus, or in the unincorporated county. A realistic read is free, and there is no obligation unless a deal closes.
What the city says is there
The City of Fayetteville’s data center page says there is one data center campus in the city, QTS, on Highway 54 West between Veterans Parkway and Tyrone Road. The city describes that facility as 13 buildings and about 6.2 million square feet. It also says that on March 5, 2026, Ordinance 26-0-12 prohibited new data centers in every city zoning district.
The same city page says a proposed data center north of the Fayette Pavilion, from Crow Holdings Development and CHI/Acquisitions, LP, was denied by the planning commission and that the appeal was withdrawn on March 18, 2026. That is a failed city process, not a pipeline.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on November 21, 2025 that Microsoft’s Fairwater AI facility had begun operating in October 2025, at more than 1 million square feet, inside a 615-acre QTS campus in Fayetteville. The city page is the local government’s description of the campus; the AJC is the source for the Microsoft tenancy.
Tax and power claims to handle carefully
Fayetteville publishes QTS project estimates of $150–$200 million a year in real property tax and about $170 million in sales tax. Those are estimates the city attributes to QTS, not collections. They are not a land value.
The city’s FAQ points residents to a Georgia Public Service Commission statement about Georgia Power base rates and data center cost-shifting. This page does not assign a megawatt total to the campus and does not claim a spare interconnection. Georgia has no public ISO load queue to cite. Confirm whether a given parcel is in the city, where the ban applies, or in unincorporated Fayette County, where the city’s ordinance does not automatically control.

Data center developers are paying premiums for powered land — get a realistic read on your parcel. Free, no obligation unless a deal closes.
Parcel basics are enough to start. Free, and no obligation unless a deal closes.
Your information is reviewed privately. A submission is not a listing, and it does not obligate you unless a deal closes.
What this does not tell you
- No claim that land in unincorporated Fayette County is banned, and no claim that it is easy.
- No sale comparable.
- The tax figures are QTS estimates relayed by the city.
If you own the land
- Bring the jurisdiction with the acreage. “Fayette County” and “City of Fayetteville” are different answers under the March 2026 ordinance.
- A parcel next to an operating campus still needs its own zoning path and its own power path.
- Submit it with sale or lease selected. Read Newton County if your land is actually east of Atlanta rather than south.
