HR1751: HR1751 Condominium associations, property owners' associations, and any other corporations or voluntary entities; provide transparency to members; urge

This resolution addresses a common situation for Georgians who own condos or homes governed by a homeowners' or property owners' association: members may not know what assessments or fees they owe, or that unpaid fees could put their home at risk. The resolution does not change Georgia law. Instead, it urges condominium associations, property owners' associations, and similar entities to be transparent with their members. Specifically, it asks these associations to post contact information for requesting a statement of account somewhere easy to find on their public website, or otherwise make that contact information available to members, and to promptly give members detailed statements listing current assessments, due dates, amounts owed, and upcoming scheduled assessments. It also directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and press. Because it is a resolution rather than a bill, associations face no penalty for not complying.

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

Homeowners and condo owners who belong to condominium associations, property owners' associations, or similar governing entities, as well as the associations themselves, which are the target of the resolution's requests for more transparency about fees and assessments.

Members of homeowners' associations sometimes discover unpaid assessments only after fees pile up, which the resolution notes can eventually put a person's home at risk. Because this is a non-binding resolution, any change in association practices would depend on voluntary compliance rather than a new legal requirement.

• The whereas clauses describe the problem: association members may not know about assessments, special assessments, or fees, or that they are unpaid.
• The first resolving clause urges associations to provide transparency to members generally.
• The second resolving clause specifies what that transparency should include: easy-to-find contact information for account statement requests and prompt, detailed statements listing assessments, due dates, and upcoming charges.
• The final clause directs the Clerk of the House to make copies of the resolution available to the public and press.
