Can Kennesaw really take your paid-off home over a water bill?

Unpaid municipal bills, including water, can turn into a lien against a Georgia property, and if that lien goes unpaid long enough it can end up folded into a county tax sale process the same way unpaid property taxes can, though losing a paid-off home this way generally requires a long stretch of nonpayment and multiple notices first. Whether a specific Kennesaw case unfolded this way is not something this site can confirm without the actual case record. Cobb County's tax commissioner publishes the process for any tax sale. Joel Boss can point concerned homeowners toward resources before a lien becomes serious.
