Notes

Georgia redeemable tax-deed sale (not a lien certificate). Cobb County Tax Commissioner levies and sells on the courthouse steps / Superior Court Plaza for unpaid property taxes. Does NOT sell tax lien certificates. Opening bid is taxes due; purchaser receives a tax deed subject to statutory right of redemption (~12 months typically under GA law).
