Go to your county court house and ask for the Probate Clerk's office. In Georgia they can provide you with a pamphlet "A Layman's Guide to Probate in Georgia"

You have to look up the Property Tax Authority or County assessor & look up the owners name.  Once you have that look up the county recorder's office to see if you can do an online document search for an recorded deed of trusts for example.  It will show all liens against a person & the document will show show the parcel or operty address its tied too on the document.  Some Counties hold this info private & you may have a hard time getting this (if your in some parts of CA).

I live in Virginia, but here's a little I have found.\n\nHave relatives in Georgia.  Brother and sister-in-law love it, their children looking to go elsewhere, if they can.  I've only visited Atlanta and Albany, so can't personally get a true picture of life there.\n\nNorth Carolina, I've visited a lot of the region in the western part of the state, near the Tennessee border.  Scenic, moderate climate except in the highlands around Boone.  Brief visit to Charlotte.  The Research Triangle area well known to be driving R&D development.  State seems progressive in their vision, transporatation system improving.\n\nA little about taxes I found from link listed below:\nState income tax rate\nGA 1.0 - 6.0% in 3 brackets\nNC 6.0 - 8.5% in 4 brackets, rates scheduled to be reduced in 2007\n\nState sales tax\nGA state 4% local 3% = 7% total - groceries exempt\nNC state 4.5% local 3%= 7.5% - groceries exempt from state portion, local is optional\n\nReal estate transfer rates\nGA $1 for 1st $1,000 consideration, $.10 for each additional $100, making rate of .10%\n2004 revenue generated $420,000\n\nNC $1 per $500 consideration, 51% of revenue stays at local level, rate is .20%\n2004 revenue generated $54,940,000\n\nNow of this last comparison, I was struck by the wide difference in revenue generated.  With NC rate being twice that of GA, the revenue generated was over 100 times the amount of GA.\n\nEither NC real estate valuation is much higher or there was not much real estate transfer in GA in 2004.\n\nHope this information helps, and good luck in your move!

I think it is a tax sale where it is still subject to all liens and mortgages. Where they don't get wiped clean.\n\nhere is a link to a notice of one in pensylvania\nhttp://www.co.monroe.pa.us/monroe/cwp/view.asp?a=1516&q=605391

Property sales are a matter of public record, so you should be able to find out.  The question is, how hard is that?\n\nMore and more taxing authorities are putting property information on the web.  I live in New York, and counties are the primary property tax authority.  They have some fairly detailed property information, but sale prices only seem to be available for a few months after a sale closes. You should investigate whether your local authority maintains those records on the web.

County Tax office records Real Estate. You can go to the county Sheriff and they can help

You should call the Clerk of the Court for your county.  It's possible that a transfer of title to a family member (sharing title with them) will not be taxable, since it's not a "sale" and they are part of your family.

if you want to know who owned the property, check with the municipality.  if you need a notarized copy attesting to that, the town should know who notarized the sale.  they might not have a copy but you can try and find if the notary is still in business and has the records

Years?  In my state, property taxes are due twice a year at which time you may either pay it in full or half each time.  Once you miss one payment a lien is put on the property, the second time an additional lien is then put on the property.  Late fees and penalties accumulate with both liens.  At the second time property taxes are delinquent, the county assessor can then file to auction off the property at the next regularly scheduled auction.  The word "regularly" is important here because in our county they are not scheduled with regularity, they are scheduled when the county feels it has enough properties available for auction to make it profitable for all parties.  If the owner or payee responsible for the property taxes can pay the liens, late fees and penalties BEFORE the property is listed for auction, you can retain ownership. \n\nIt would be worth checking out www.Foreclosures.com and paying the monthly fee or getting the free trial to determine the details of where your granny's property is, status wise, with the county in which you live.  Just put in the zip code and initially you will see the general status.  You can obtain further information with the detail link.  Good luck!\n\n\nPS Try to contact the county assessor's office in the county in which the property is located.  Explain the details of the delinquency and perhaps they will have an arrangement you can make.

Go to the County Assessor's Office that governs Long Beach, and ask the sales analyst to look up recent sales for you.  It is a public service...they have to provide it, and it IS a matter of public record.  You may have to pay a samll fee, or they may be able to set you up at a computer in their public area to look it up yourself.

If you have the actual physical address of the property, you could try the county recorder's office.  Just tell them you would like to know who pays taxes on that property.\n\nThis works where I live, hope it works for you too.

hate to say it, but it will be worth whatever you can get someone to pay for it.  Check with Antiques Dealers, Ebay, or maybe donate to a college for a tax write-off?  I don't know if that would work though, I am not a tax professional.

Go to the county office, the county secretary or clerk should be able to help you. They usually have a lot of properties left over after the tax auctions. I'm about to start purchasing some of these homes myself from different counties. I hope this helps you

yes... but i think you may only be able to get a "copy" of it... not the officially binding deed record.  But yeah... if you look hard enough, you may even be able to find out how much the owner paid for it.

Texas has the advantage of being without a state income tax. I hear housing prices are starting to get high there,however. Louisiana is a tad humid for me. I'm sure If you want some type of construction or post disaster work you'll find it there. It's still quite a mess down that way. don't know about Georgia. Sorry.
