Tax-delinquent property lists in Georgia come from the county tax collector or treasurer, usually published on a set schedule. Pull that roll, cross-check it against vacancy and absentee signals, confirm the state redemption rule, and run the certificate yield or deed spread before you bid.
Example figures only. Confirm with the county before relying on any rate, fee, deadline, or redemption period.
| Check | Example input | Before you act |
|---|---|---|
| County amount owed | $4,000 | Confirm payoff, fees, and sale status with the county. |
| Interest, penalty, or premium | Georgia tax-sale redemption premiums can apply, but confirm the exact county calculation before bidding. | Do not use a placeholder as expected return. |
| Redemption window | Georgia tax sales generally carry at least 12 months of redemption until barred, but confirm the county file and statutory notice steps. | Verify sale type and property category first. |
| Property spread | ARV $185,000, repairs $42,000 | Use sold comps and repair bids before bidding on a deed. |
Start with the county tax collector, treasurer, assessor, or property appraiser. Search for delinquent tax rolls, tax sale lists, tax certificates, tax deeds, or sheriff sale calendars, then confirm the current source with that county.
Georgia tax sales generally carry at least 12 months of redemption until barred, but confirm the county file and statutory notice steps. If the county record does not identify the sale type clearly, write confirm with the county in your model.
Confirm amount owed, sale status, owner and mailing address, title risk, occupancy, repairs, redemption, and county fees. Then run Tax Lien Yield, Max Bid, or Deal Analyzer before spending on skip tracing, title work, or auction deposits.
