A county property-tax notice concerns unpaid property taxes. A Georgia power-of-sale mortgage foreclosure is a separate lender process: 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 sale. A completed, valid power-of-sale foreclosure has no post-sale redemption period. Check the current notice and confirm any postponement with the lender or foreclosure counsel.
Georgia 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 liable, although the sales contract can assign payment to the buyer. The deed generally cannot be recorded until the tax is paid, and statutory exemptions may apply.
A seller’s mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.
