The law behind this sale

What is sold Property under a tax execution is sold in the manner of a judicial sale; the purchaser takes a tax deed whose recitals show the amount paid, subject to the owner's statutory right of redemption, and redemption money is paid to the purchaser. O.C.G.A. § 48-4-1(a)(1); §§ 48-4-40, 48-4-42(d), read 2026-08-30
Redemption period The defendant in fi. fa. or any interest-holder may redeem at any time within 12 months from the date of the sale, and at any time after that until the right to redeem is foreclosed by the barment notice under § 48-4-45. O.C.G.A. § 48-4-40 (as amended by Ga. L. 2016, Act 600 / HB 51), read 2026-08-30
Redemption interest / premium The redemption amount is the price paid at the tax sale, plus taxes the purchaser paid afterward and any special assessments, plus a premium of 20% of that amount for the first year or fraction of a year after the sale and 10% for each year or fraction of a year thereafter — the structure in force since July 1, 2016. O.C.G.A. § 48-4-42(a) (as amended by Ga. L. 2016, Act 600 / HB 51, eff. 2016-07-01), read 2026-08-30
Statutory sale timing Execution sales take place on the first Tuesday of each month between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the county courthouse, shifting to the following Wednesday when the first Tuesday falls on New Year's Day or Independence Day. No statute authorizes online tax sales — the 2022 bill proposing them was never enacted. O.C.G.A. § 9-13-161(a), read 2026-08-30

The full Georgia statutory fact table carries every field, the operative statute text verbatim, and the fields that could not be verified. A statutory sale day is a fact about the law, not a scheduled sale — published dates are on the calendar only.
