HR 1751: Condominium associations, property owners' associations, and any other corporations or voluntary entities; provide transparency to members; urge

This resolution addresses a common concern among Georgia homeowners: many people who live in condominiums or homes governed by property owners' associations do not always know what fees or assessments they owe, or that unpaid fees could put their homes at risk. The resolution notes that these associations can charge assessments and special fees, and that members sometimes are not told clearly when they owe money or that a payment is overdue. Rather than changing Georgia law, the resolution urges condominium associations, property owners' associations, and similar entities to make it easier for members to find contact information for requesting an account statement, either on their website or otherwise available to members. It also urges these associations to promptly provide members with detailed statements listing current assessments, due dates, amounts owed, and upcoming assessments. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies to the public and press, but it creates no enforceable obligation.

• Urges condominium associations and property owners' associations to be more transparent with members about fees and assessments, without creating a legal mandate.
• Asks these associations to post contact information for requesting an account statement in an easy to find spot on their website or otherwise make it available to members.
• Asks these associations to promptly give members detailed statements listing current assessments, due dates, amounts owed, and upcoming assessments.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and the press.

Homeowners and condominium owners who belong to condominium associations, property owners' associations, or similar homeowner governance entities in Georgia, as well as the associations themselves, which are the target of the resolution's requests for greater transparency.

Homeowners sometimes lose track of assessments or special fees owed to their association, which can lead to serious consequences including risk of losing their home. This resolution highlights that problem and asks associations to voluntarily improve communication, though it does not require them to change their practices.

• The preamble explains that association members may not know their properties carry unpaid assessments or fees, sometimes risking loss of their home.
• The first resolving clause urges associations to provide transparency to members generally.
• The second resolving clause specifically urges associations to post easy to find contact information for account statement requests and to promptly provide detailed statements listing assessments, due dates, and amounts owed.
• The final clause directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and press; the resolution imposes no binding legal duty.
