Helpful Georgia rules
Georgia’s real-estate transfer tax is based on the sale price: $1 for the first $1,000 or fraction, then 10 cents for each additional $100 or fraction. The seller is legally responsible, but the sales contract can assign payment to the buyer. The deed generally cannot be recorded until the tax is paid. Statutory exemptions may apply.
Georgia’s intangible recording tax applies to qualifying long-term notes secured by real estate; it is a separate tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Georgia real-estate transfer tax. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
The personal representative — the person appointed to handle the estate — may sell before probate closes when the will grants a power of sale or Probate Court grants permission under O.C.G.A. § 53-8-13. The will, appointment papers, any court order, and the deed affect who may sign. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
For a Georgia power-of-sale foreclosure, the sale is held on the first Tuesday of the month at the county courthouse. Notice must be published once each week for four weeks, and the lender must send the borrower notice at least 30 days before the sale. After a completed, valid sale, Georgia has no post-sale redemption period. If you receive a notice, call us with the sale date and we’ll talk through your options.
You don’t always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we’ve done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone. Georgia’s Department of Community Affairs says a new owner is generally subject to an apartment’s existing lease terms after an ordinary sale. The former owner must transfer the security deposit to the new owner, who then becomes responsible for it, or refund it to the tenant.
Georgia lets local governments enforce building codes. If you have a code order or repair deadline, call us — we’ll look at the notice with you and talk through the next step.
