Question: I homeschool in Ga and want to change counties. How do I do that?
I am moving from one county to another, and don'tknow how to do that without losing attendance already on file. Also, does the Homeschooling law change in new county?
Answer: The home education code is consistent throughout the whole state of Georgia.

Submit your attendance to your "old" district up through your last day living in that area. Tell them which county you are moving to.
In your new county, submit a Letter of Intent to the new district. Tell them the name of your last county, and how many days you reported Homeschooling there and contact information for the authority you submitted reports to there. File an attendance report at the end of the month for the days of Homeschooling done in your new county.
As long as you are up-front and honest in your reporting, there should be no problem tracking your attendance between the counties. They aren't trying to make more work for themselves! If you are friendly and act like you know what you are doing, and not hesitant or suspicious, they will make it easy for you.
