Sell your with back taxes owed Augusta house for cash — we buy direct

Owing back property taxes doesn't stop you from selling — but it does compress the timeline before the county can move to tax sale. A cash sale pays off the taxes directly from the proceeds at closing, often before any auction would happen. We buy tax-delinquent property routinely and can close on these.

How the Georgia timeline works

Georgia is a non-judicial state with one of the fastest timelines anywhere: sales happen on the courthouse steps the first Tuesday of the month after about 30 days of published notice. A foreclosure can go from first notice to auction in a single month.

Georgia law requires closings to run through a licensed closing attorney rather than a title or escrow company. It doesn’t slow a cash sale much — attorney-run cash closings in two to three weeks are normal.
