A: Hopefully you have already received a Deed from the former owner. If not, you own nothing. Assuming you have an executed Deed that is enforceable, go record it at the Houston County Register of Deeds. The consideration paid will have an effect on the amount of taxes for recording. I assume you have a Deed but the title may not be clear, so you should perform a title search. Good Luck
