Notes

Georgia redeemable tax deed system: Tax Commissioner/Sheriff levy and sell on courthouse steps (first Tuesday of the month; Fulton often skips July). Buyer receives tax deed subject to ~12-month right of redemption; after redemption expires, purchaser typically must bar/foreclose the right of redemption to firm up title. Opening bid = taxes due + costs. Excess funds claim process exists via Superior Court if disputed.
