What happens to the liens on the property?
Liens are marshaled, (placed in order and paid in order), and paid from the sale proceeds.  A deficiency judgment may be granted to the plaintiff against the defendant (homeowner), if enough money is not generated at the sale.  The liens are then canceled against the property.  The exception is a Federal Lien, (which will be on file at the Fulton County Recorder’s Office).  You are urged to check out any liens, and check with an attorney if you have questions.  We do not have lien information at the Sheriff’s Office.
