Liens that survive

Georgia tax deeds are subject to statutory redemption; junior liens may be affected but federal tax liens and some interests can survive. Excess funds held for parties of interest. Buyer beware — full title search required.

Quiet title

After redemption period expires without redemption, quiet title is commonly pursued for marketable/insurable title.

Verify before you bid

Rehab budget

If the owner redeems

Flat penalty

20%

You'd receive

$57,242

Window

1095 days

A 20% flat penalty applies if the owner redeems. It is a penalty, not annual interest — the rate does not change with how early they redeem.

redemption stays open indefinitely until the purchaser forecloses it by statutory notice (barment)

Quoted elsewhere as 20% annualised — true only if they redeem on the last possible day and you immediately redeploy the capital. Treat the flat penalty as the real number.

Before you bid

Rehab is assumed to be $0. You cannot inspect these properties before bidding — budget for the worst plausible condition.
Surviving liens assumed $0. The 12-month period is a minimum, not an expiry — the redemption right persists until you serve barment notice, so budget for that process.
