    1. Two words “rapidly gentrifying” say a lot. 2. Sounds like (and looks like after a quick Google search) Investa Services should be investigated for their tactics and to make sure they are properly registered with all necessary local, state and federal agencies. 3. County and Sheriff departments need to get their heads out of their behinds and do what’s right in this case and others like it. 4. WSB-TV, keep up the pressure!

    Why hide the notification under the door mat? Somebody wants that property trying to take it from them using the tax laws
  • @kuita317
    Private companies? That seems questionable practices just from listening.
  • @eligebrown8998
    They can't make them pay. There's no way they owe that much
  • @crinklecut3790
    For all you people that constantly say things about the importance of keeping church and state separate, why is the government taxing a church out of its house of worship?
  • @sibhuskyguy
    The root of the problem seems to be not updating the records on who is leading/owns the church.. Why hadn't that been done back in 89 when the original pastor died?
  • @ebby_ebby
    Why does the church sign say “Temporary Home of”? Are they expecting to lose this case and having to move out?
  • @dps6198
    Churches are supposed to be taxed exempt unless this one for some reason didn't qualify for a tax exemption. Additionally tax bills would have been mailed to the property and those working at church would have seen those tax bills They just ignored them

    What the hell is going on in Fulton, it seems like they want to be the new Florida Man....

    Sounds to me like someone in the church dropped the ball. When pastors change, paperwork must be filed so the guberment knows who to contact and how. Since they were mailing tax notices to a dead pastor means... read my first sentence. People have GOT to stop feeling persecuted and start looking at themselves and the role they play in their own demise. AKA, adulting.
  • This is pure evil they want the church property to build luxury homes. Try to take God‘s property using the devil’s advocate is not a good idea.
