Paulding County Tax Commissioner levies and sells delinquent parcels at public outcry on the first Tuesday of months when a sale is scheduled, in front of the Paulding County Courthouse (Dallas), ~11:00 a.m. Opening bid = taxes, penalties, fees. High bidder pays cash/certified funds same day; receives sheriff’s/tax deed subject to ~12-month statutory right of redemption (20% first year premium, 10% each year thereafter under OCGA §48-4-40 et seq.).
