Bill > HB203

This bill amends Georgia law to: 1) Clarify that for breaches of restrictive covenants, the right of action accrues immediately when a permanent fixture is erected in violation of the covenant, and also accrues each time a continuous violation occurs. 2) Allow a condominium association, after the declarant's right to expand the condominium has expired, to expand the condominium if two-thirds of the unit owners consent, provided the declaration contained an explicit reservation of the right to expand within the first 7 years. 3) Provide a process for property owners to take control of a condominium, property owners' association, or entity enforcing restrictive covenants if the declarant fails to properly incorporate or maintain the entity, hold elections, provide information to owners, call meetings, establish budgets, or pay taxes. This allows owners to seek a court order to transfer control. The bill aims to address issues related to the enforcement and operation of restrictive covenants, condominiums, and property owners' associations in Georgia.
