Sell Your Tax Lien House Fast in McDonough

In Georgia, property taxes are due by December 20th of each year, and when they go unpaid, a tax lien attaches to the property automatically under O.C.G.A. § 48-2-56 — no court action is required for the lien to take effect. If taxes remain delinquent, the county tax commissioner is authorized under O.C.G.A. § 48-4-1 to conduct a tax sale, typically held on the first Tuesday of the month at the county courthouse steps, where the property is sold to the highest bidder and the buyer receives a tax deed. Georgia law grants the original property owner a 12-month right of redemption after a non-judicial tax sale under O.C.G.A. § 48-4-40, meaning you can reclaim your property by paying the purchaser the sale price plus a 20% premium within the first year, though that window can shrink if the tax deed holder begins the foreclosure of redemption process through Superior Court. Some counties also offer homestead exemption programs and periodic hardship payment plans through the tax commissioner's office that can help delinquent homeowners catch up before a sale date is scheduled, so contacting your county tax commissioner's office as soon as you receive a delinquency notice is critical.
