Deposit rules

Cash or certified funds same day per Georgia tax-sale practice. Confirm registration and opening bid with Tax Commissioner when a sale is noticed. Sold subject to 1-year redemption.

Title risk

Liens that survive the sale

Tax deed is subject to the 1-year redemption right. After redemption expires and proper barment/notice, most private liens are cut off, but federal tax liens and some assessments can survive. HOA liens require careful review.

Quiet title

Notice/barment under O.C.G.A. Title 48 is the statutory path; many title companies still want quiet title or completed barment before insuring for resale.
