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.
