Useful offices
Habersham County · assessments and property records
Use the Board of Tax Assessors for assessed-value and county property-record questions. That is separate from a property-tax bill or unpaid-tax balance.
130 Jacob’s Way, Suite 201, Clarkesville, GA 30523 · 706-839-0100.
Habersham County · property-tax search, payment, and tax-sale information
Contact the Tax Commissioner about a county property-tax bill, payment, or tax-sale information. It is a different route from the Assessor’s valuation and property-record work.
130 Jacobs Way, Suite 202, Clarkesville, GA 30523 · 706-839-0120.
Habersham County · recorded property documents, deeds, and court records
Use the Clerk’s deed-information route for recorded real-property documents. A deed and a court judgment are different records; ask the Clerk about the court-record route for a judgment question rather than treating it as an assessment or tax-balance issue.
295 Llewellyn Street, Suite 110, Clarkesville, GA 30523 · 706-839-0300.
Habersham County · local probate-court contact
For an estate-related house, the Probate Court is the local court contact. The appointed personal representative, the will, any court order, and the title record determine who may convey the property.
295 Llewellyn Street, Suite 24, Clarkesville, GA 30523 · 706-839-0320.
City of Cornelia · city permit and inspection questions
Use the City’s Building & Zoning pages for Cornelia permit and inspection questions. Its posted certificate-of-occupancy and annual-inspection checklist describes commercial-property inspections; it does not establish an inspection requirement for an ordinary residential sale.
City of Cornelia and Habersham County · separate code-compliance routes
For a code, unsafe-building, nuisance, or property-maintenance notice, use the City’s Code Enforcement page for a Cornelia city matter or the County contact for county code-compliance and blighted-area/general complaints. These offices serve different jurisdictions.
Habersham County Code Enforcement: 1000 Detention Drive, Clarkesville, GA 30523 · 706-839-0150.
Helpful Georgia rules
Yes, when the will gives the personal representative authority to sell or the Probate Court grants leave. Without authority in the will, the appointed personal representative must ask the court for leave to sell; being an heir or named executor alone is not enough to sign. The will, appointment, any court order, and title record determine who may convey the house.
We can work with the appointed representative and their attorney. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
Georgia charges $1 for the first $1,000 of sale price or fraction, then 10 cents for each additional $100 or fraction. The seller is legally liable, although the contract can assign payment to the buyer; the deed generally cannot be recorded until the tax is paid. Statutory exemptions may apply.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Georgia real-estate transfer tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
