Georgia tax sales, explained
Three plain-English guides to the rules behind every county's first-Tuesday tax sale, with each rule cited to its section of the Official Code of Georgia so you can check it yourself.
How Georgia tax sales work
Levy, four weeks of notice, the first-Tuesday auction, what the tax deed buyer actually gets, and the risks.
Georgia's tax sale redemption period
The 12-month right to redeem, the 20% then 10% premium, the barment notice, and a calculator.
Georgia tax sale excess funds
The money left after a tax sale, who may claim it under O.C.G.A. § 48-4-5, and how counties publish the lists.
Mortgage foreclosures follow a different path with no redemption period; that is covered in How Georgia foreclosure works. For the dates themselves see the sale calendar, and for a specific county's sale and list see the county pages.
