How Tax Delinquent Property Sales Work in Georgia
Georgia is a tax-deed state with a redemption period — sometimes called a "redeemable tax deed" state. When property taxes go unpaid, the county tax commissioner issues a fi.fa. (fieri facias, a writ of execution) and the sheriff sells the property at public auction on the first Tuesday of the month at the county courthouse. The winning bidder receives a tax deed at the sale but does not get clear title until the 12-month redemption period expires and they "bar" the right of redemption through proper statutory notice.
Bidding & Auctions
Tax sales are conducted in person on the courthouse steps between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. The opening bid is the back taxes, penalties, interest, and costs. Bidders should bring cash or certified funds — payment is due immediately. Notice of sale is published in the county legal organ for 4 consecutive weeks before the sale. After winning, the buyer should record the deed promptly and begin the 12-month redemption clock.
Redemption & Penalties
The original owner (or any party with an interest) can redeem within 12 months by paying the buyer the bid amount plus a 20% premium (10% for each additional year if not redeemed). After 12 months, the buyer must serve a "barment" notice on all interested parties giving them 30 days to redeem. If no one redeems after barment, the buyer can file to quiet title and obtain marketable, insurable ownership.
See Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.) § 48-4. Specific procedures vary by county — always verify with the local tax assessor/collector before bidding.

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.
