Tax sale laws vary tremendously by state. Some states are tax deeds where you actually are buying the property, and some are tax LIEN states where you are only getting a lien against the property but if they do not pay, you can foreclose. 

This is what I do, buy liens and we are able to foreclose on some of them and we quickly resell the ones we take for a profit.

As @Carson Sweezy pointed out there are a lot of threads here to get you started including some about GA. One of the best places to get info on the process is you local county website. They often have tax sale info but sometimes it is hard to find.
