Common Georgia HOA/COA/POA Questions

What is the difference between HOA, COA, and POA?

All are “community associations.” HOAs cover houses. COAs cover condos. POAs often cover larger mixed communities. All use rules called covenants.

Can the association fine me?

Maybe. Many can, but they must follow the covenants and fair process. If they skip steps, the fine may not stand.

Can they put a lien on my home?

If dues or assessments are past due, a lien is possible. But amount, notice, and timing must be right. We check the math and the process.

Can an HOA or COA foreclose in Georgia?

It depends on your documents and the debt. Foreclosure is serious and rare, but it can happen. Call us fast if you get a notice.

Do I have to follow a new rule I never voted on?

Boards can adopt rules, but changes must follow your documents and the law. Some changes need a member vote. We review how the rule was made.

What if the board will not repair a leak or common area?

They must handle their duties with care and within a reasonable time. We push for action, set deadlines, and seek credit for your losses when allowed.

How long will my case take?

Many disputes resolve in weeks. Court cases take longer. We set a timeline with you after we review your papers.

How much will this cost?

We offer flat fees for letters and reviews when we can. For larger fights, we use fair retainers and clear bills. Ask about fee-shifting—sometimes the board may have to pay if the law and facts support it.

Will you speak to the board for me?

Yes. We handle all contact once you hire us.

Signs Your Association May Be Acting Unfairly

New fines with no notice or vague rules
Different rules for different owners
Refusal to give budgets, minutes, or records
Sudden special assessments without a vote
Slow or no repairs in shared areas causing damage to your unit
Harsh threats from a manager or attorney after you asked a fair question

If you see these, save the paperwork and call us.

Homeowner-Side Association Representation

Our firm represents Georgia homeowners in disputes involving associations, management companies, collection firms, and association attorneys. We do not represent HOA, COA, or POA boards in these disputes. That means our focus stays on the homeowner’s rights, documents, deadlines, and practical options.

Can a Georgia HOA fine a homeowner?

A Georgia HOA may be able to fine a homeowner if the governing documents authorize fines and the association follows the required notice and hearing process. If the association skipped required steps, used vague rules, applied rules unevenly, or charged fines before proper notice, the fines may be subject to challenge.

Can a Georgia HOA place a lien on a home?

A Georgia association may be able to record a lien for unpaid assessments or authorized charges, but the amount, authority, notice, and accounting should be reviewed carefully. Homeowners should request the ledger, governing documents, violation notices, and payoff support before agreeing to disputed charges.
