The Georgia Property Owners’ Association Act passed in 1994 is becoming a popular choice to adopt among HOAs.
Apparently, once adopted, one of the applicable provisions is that the HOA no longer needs to file separate liens against the property in the public records. So lien searches don't discover these and the HOA avoids the lien filing fee too?
Also, a provision makes the HOA dues joint and severability liable which is fancy legalese saying "if prior owner don't pay, new owner does"...Gotcha baby!
Another provision may allow an HOA to live on in perpetuity and not expire a lonely death...
