Common situations in Chatham County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
The Chatham County Probate Court handles estates. If the house was left to several relatives, all of them, or the court-appointed representative, will need to sign to sell.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
A Chatham County foreclosure is advertised for several weeks and then auctioned at the courthouse, generally without the lender filing a lawsuit. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
The Chatham County Tax Commissioner collects property taxes, and the Chatham County Sheriff can sell parcels with long-unpaid taxes at a tax sale.
More on behind on property taxes →Code violations and city orders
The City of Savannah's code compliance officers handle unsafe, vacant and overgrown properties and can put the city's costs on the property as a lien.
More on code violations and city orders →Tired of being a landlord
Savannah landlords file dispossessory cases in the Magistrate Court of Chatham County. You can sell with tenants in place — paying, behind, or mid-eviction.

Selling for cash in Savannah: questions
My Savannah house floods on high tides. Will anyone buy it?
Yes. Cash buyers in Chatham County buy flood-prone houses and price in the repairs and insurance. Georgia sellers should disclose known flooding when asked.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Savannah?
Georgia closings are run by a real estate attorney, often working with a title company; the attorney pays off the security deed, the county taxes and any liens before you receive your money. Once you accept an offer, most Chatham County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
