Georgia law allows the property owner or anyone with any right, title or interest in the property to repurchase (redeem) the Tax Deed. Until the right of redemption has been foreclosed or the title has ripened by prescription, a tax deed has the same force and effect as a lien.
Outstanding Liens or Mortgages – There may still be outstanding claims, liens, or mortgages attached to the property that survive the tax deed sale. This can complicate legal ownership and mean the new buyer is still responsible for settling these debts. Thorough research is required to uncover any nuisances.
A tax lien, also known as a state tax execution, is a legal claim to secure a debt and may hamper the transfer of real or personal property. The Department of Revenue may record tax liens against you with one or more Clerks of Superior Court.
What Happens to a Mortgage in a Tax Lien Sale? Property tax lien foreclosures occur when governments foreclose properties in their jurisdictions for the delinquent property taxes owed on them. Property tax liens are superior to other liens so their foreclosure eliminates other liens, including a mortgage lien.
(a) Notices of liens upon real property for taxes payable to the United States and certificates and all notices affecting such liens, including certificates of redemption, shall be filed in the office of the clerk of the superior court of the county in which the real property subject to a federal tax lien is located.
A state tax execution attaches to any property to which the named taxpayer is the owner of record. If ownership of the subject property changes, the Department's lien remains attached until the lien is resolved. When there is a sale of the subject property, the lien attaches to the proportionate proceeds from the sale.
When a Notice of Federal Tax Lien or State Tax Execution is filed against one's property, the IRS or state agency is claiming their right to be repaid via your assets. This includes Taxpayer's right to property at the moment of assessment, once filed, and any after acquired property.
To get a lien payoff amount, visit the Georgia Tax Center with your Lien ID (or State Tax Execution Number). In the “Searches” section of the page, select "SOLVED: Search for a Lien". From here you can search by individual name and last four of the SSN, business name or last four of FEIN, or by Lien ID.
The usual reason for owing state tax is that you did not have enough tax withheld from your paychecks to cover your state tax liability. Or did you receive unemployment without having tax withheld---some states tax unemployment. Compare your printed 2019 and 2020 state returns line by line to see what is different.
