Start Your Free Georgia SearchGeorgia Law: Under O.C.G.A. § 48-4-5, the county must hold excess funds for five years after the tax sale. After that, unclaimed funds are turned over to the Georgia Department of Revenue, and getting them back requires a court order. Don't let the clock run out on what's legally yours.

The county holds tax sale excess funds for five years from the sale date.
