Supreme Court of Georgia

La Chona, LLC v. Aberra

March 6, 2017300 Ga. 670

Summary

The court affirmed the trial court's ruling that La Chona lacked authority to send notices foreclosing Aberra's right to redeem because La Chona had recorded a redemption deed transferring the property after the tax sale. The court held that a tax-sale purchaser no longer qualifies to send barment notices after properly recording such a transfer, even if the redemption deed may later be subject to being set aside. The court did not decide whether Aberra's tender was sufficient or whether La Chona waived the tender requirement.
