How Tax Sales Operate in Georgia
Under O.C.G.A. § 48-4-1 et seq., delinquent property taxes follow a precise statutory timeline. Understanding the difference between bidding on Tax Deed (Redeemable) and purchasing over-the-counter is essential for investors.
Bidding & Auction Process
Auctions are conducted online via In-Person (Courthouse Steps - 1st Tuesday) or in person by the County Tax Commissioner / Sheriff. Winning bidders are required to tender payment via wire transfer, certified check, or ACH within statutory deadlines.
Over-The-Counter Lands (County Land Bank Authority)
In Georgia, properties that do not sell at the initial auction are typically re-offered at subsequent judicial tax sales rather than sold over-the-counter.
