Tax sale in S. Georgia likely includes farms

July tax sale in rural Georgia’s Colquitt County will probably include some farm land

MERRITT ISLAND, FL - A coming property tax sale in rural Southwest Georgia is probably going to include some farm land.

“If you have ever wanted to own some acreage, maybe even a whole farm, here’s an opportunity for you,” said Ted Thomas, a national expert on property tax sales. “Colquitt County’s major industry is agriculture. It’s one of the larger counties in Georgia and is covered with farms.”

When the legal notice advertising began, some 300 accounts and 184 parcels were listed in the notices. Some of the taxes will be paid before the sale takes place on July 7. Mr. Thomas said that’s pretty common.

Exactly what properties are for sale can be read in the legals section of The Moultrie Observor or www.GeorgiaPublicNotice.com. The website has legal notices from each newspaper in the state, including the Colquitt County tax sale and sales from other counties and cities around the state.

“I highly recommend tax auction investors bookmark Public Notice and check it weekly for tax sales,” Mr. Thomas said. “You see the same notice at the website as appears in the newspaper. You can get an excellent idea of what the property is as well as where it is located.

In searching the notices, use “Cindy S. Harvin” as a keyword in the search box. Ms. Harvin is the Colquitt County Tax Commissioner and her name appears at the beginning of each the tax sale notices.

“The notices do not have the amount of taxes owed, but it does give you a case number and an address or a name. Before you call to see how much tax is owed, look up the property online. Get a satellite view first to see if it is within one of the cities or country and farm land. If it looks appealing, find a street view of the property,” Mr. Thomas said.

With that in hand, move to the next step. Call Ms. Harvin’s office with this information and find out how much tax is owed on the property. Her office can be reached at 229-616-7410.

Ms. Harvin’s office expects to get as much as $100,000 from the sale. “That right there tells you there will be more than $1 million worth of property in the auction,” Mr. Thomas said. “The past due taxes and associated fees are rarely more than 10 percent of the property’s value.”
