Georgia HOAs in Fulton County enforce CC&Rs through the Georgia Property Owners' Association Act (O.C.G.A. §44-3-220 et seq.). HOAs can levy fines and place liens for violations.
The Georgia POA Act gives HOAs (when properly incorporated) lien rights for unpaid assessments and fines. HOAs can fine for CC&R violations after written notice and opportunity to cure. Fines must be reasonable. Georgia O.C.G.A. §44-3-225 allows HOAs to lien properties — superior to most subsequent liens but subject to first mortgage. Foreclosure for unpaid assessments is allowed. Disputes resolved through HOA hearings then Magistrate or Superior Court.
Unpaid assessments → fines → lien → potential foreclosure. Members can sue HOAs for selective enforcement under O.C.G.A. §44-3-223.
