Sandy Springs eviction research
City-level context for eviction filings in Sandy Springs, Georgia. Cited figures are labeled. Missing figures are omitted.
Court and process (high level)
An eviction in Sandy Springs is a court case, not a lockout. The owner files; the tenant has a chance to answer; a hearing may be set; a judgment, if entered, is not possession. A writ executed by the local sheriff, marshal, or constable is typically required before a setout. We do not guarantee any of those intervals.
Georgia dispossessory cases are filed in the magistrate court of the county where the property is located. The statutory tenant answer period is 7 days from service. A judgment does not restore possession; a separate writ of possession is required. Writs are executed by the county sheriff, except in Fulton County where the Marshal's Department executes them.
