Georgia firm pays $220,000 for nonexistent land, loses bid for refund

Talon Assets, LLC acquired land in Atlanta for $220,000 at a county tax sale. Doubts about the property led them to request a refund and tax deed cancellation. However, Fulton County dismissed their case, invoking sovereign immunity as a legal defense. The Georgia Court of Appeals upheld this dismissal, leaving Talon’s issues unresolved. This ruling highlights the challenges in pursuing financial claims against county governments in Georgia.
