Georgia Tax Sale Questions
When are Georgia tax sales held?▾
Georgia tax sales are held on the first Tuesday of each month at the county courthouse. Not every county holds a sale every month — many hold them quarterly or as needed when delinquent tax executions accumulate.
What is the redemption penalty in Georgia?▾
The original owner can redeem within 12 months by paying the buyer the bid amount plus a 20% premium. After year one, an additional 10% accrues for each year of delay.
What is a barment notice in Georgia?▾
After the 12-month redemption period passes, the tax deed buyer must serve a barment notice on the original owner and any lienholders, giving them 30 final days to redeem. If they don't, the right of redemption is permanently extinguished.
Do I own the property after winning a Georgia tax deed sale?▾
You hold a tax deed but not clear title — you cannot sell, mortgage, or get title insurance until the 12-month redemption period expires and you complete the barment process. Most investors wait the full year before improving or marketing the property.
