Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Title 44 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to property, so as to increase the minimum amount required for a foreclosure on a lien on a property under the "Georgia Condominium Act" and the "Georgia Property Owners' Association Act"; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill increases the minimum amount of unpaid assessments required for a homeowners' association or condominium association to initiate foreclosure proceedings on a property lien. Previously, an association could start foreclosure if a property owner owed at least $2,000 in assessments, late fees, and interest. This bill raises that threshold to $20,000, meaning associations must wait until a homeowner is significantly delinquent before they can pursue foreclosure under the "Georgia Condominium Act" and the "Georgia Property Owners' Association Act," which govern these types of communities.
