Act Early

Georgia Foreclosure Timing & Why Acting Early Matters

Georgia forecloses non-judicially under the power of sale in the security deed. There is no court summons and no automatic hearing — the process moves on a monthly first-Tuesday sale schedule, so the time to act is well before the auction date.

30-Day Notice of Intent

Before foreclosure the lender must send a 30-day notice of intent to foreclose (O.C.G.A. § 44-14-162.2). If this notice was not properly sent, it can be a strong basis to challenge a sale.

Four-Week Publication

The sale must be advertised for four consecutive weeks in the county's legal newspaper. Verification of proper publication and accurate auction details are grounds for challenge.

First Tuesday Sale

The power-of-sale auction is held on the first Tuesday of the month between 10AM and 4PM at the county courthouse. Because there is no automatic hearing, acting before the sale is what matters.

Because Georgia foreclosure does not begin as a lawsuit and there is no automatic hearing, the key window is a civil action in Superior Court before the scheduled sale. Get a free case review →

Georgia Foreclosure Process

How Fulton County Foreclosure Works in Georgia

Georgia uses non-judicial foreclosure under the power of sale clause in the security deed (O.C.G.A. § 44-14-160 et seq.). There is no court summons and no automatic hearing. The process moves on a monthly first-Tuesday schedule.

1

Mortgage Default

The process begins when payments fall into default under the terms of the loan and security deed.

2

30-Day Notice of Intent to Foreclose

Before proceeding with the power-of-sale process, the lender must send a 30-day notice of intent to foreclose (O.C.G.A. § 44-14-162.2). If this notice was not properly sent, it can be a strong basis to challenge a sale.

3

Four-Week Publication of the Sale

The sale must be advertised for 4 consecutive weeks in the legal newspaper of the county. Verification of proper publication and accurate auction details are grounds for challenge.

4

First Tuesday Foreclosure Sale

The power-of-sale auction is held on the first Tuesday of the month between 10AM and 4PM at the county courthouse.

5

Superior Court Civil Action to Enjoin the Sale

Because the foreclosure does not begin as a lawsuit, a homeowner may file a civil action in the Superior Court of the county where the property is located to enjoin the sale. If the sale is imminent, a motion for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) can be filed alongside the complaint.

6

Loss Mitigation & Foreclosure Alternatives

Alongside any legal challenge, homeowners can pursue loss mitigation, loan modification, reinstatement, or a repayment and workout review. Getting these moving early can improve the available options.
