Georgia FIFA Liens- Short Sale

[Amit Bhavsar]

Dear BP Experts:

Was looking at a home up for short sale in GA (Fulton county) and planning to put in an offer. See some liens (FIFA) against the property. Is it safe to assume that if the short sale goes through, the title received will be free and clear of all liens?

A quick search I did on the web for my own education revealed:

A FIFA lien is a legal writ that has been issued by the tax commissioner against a taxpayer so that his/her property can be seized. This is done with the intention of selling the property to satisfy the tax amount.

Thanks again,

Amit
