More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
Foreclosures on South Fulton houses are usually power-of-sale auctions held at the Fulton County Courthouse on the first Tuesday of the month, after four weeks of notice in the county's legal newspaper. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
South Fulton property taxes are collected by the Fulton County Tax Commissioner; a long-unpaid bill can lead to a sheriff's tax sale, followed by the owner's redemption period.

Selling for cash in South Fulton: questions
My mailing address says Atlanta, but I'm told I'm in the City of South Fulton. Does that affect selling?
Not the sale. It decides which city's code office and permits apply. The closing attorney confirms the jurisdiction from the county records.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in South Fulton?
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 Fulton 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.
