Properties with County and City taxes

[Lisa Meeks]

I am a newbie so this question may not be correctly stated but I will through it out there anyways....

In my area (tax deed state), many properties have county taxes as well as city taxes. Do you have to pay the city taxes as well as the county taxes when paying the delinquent taxes? How do the municipalities and state laws associate county and city taxes on one property? Is the county recognized as the first lien holder and city as the second lien hold since they are both forms of taxes, just different bodies?

I live in Georgia with an "emphasis" on Cherokee County. We have tax levy sales and redemption periods of 1 year before right to foreclosure can be exercised.
