Georgia Court of Appeals

Eddie Denhardt v. Carolyn Sparks

A20A0482 June 3, 2020 Affirmed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue is whether Eddie Denhardt had a priority interest in excess funds from a tax sale under OCGA § 48-4-5 despite his judgment lien. The Georgia Court of Appeals held that Denhardt was not entitled to distribution because the statute only distributes funds to intended parties with an interest in the real property at the time of the sale.
