Windy Hill Forest Homeowners Association was created in 1983. Since that time, the Georgia legislature passed a new law to aid and clarify the operation of homeowner associations. All associations created after the new law are automatically governed by it. Pre-existing associations like WHFHA are required to gather approvals from a majority of homeowners to invoke the benefits of the law.
Homeowners associations are essential for protecting a neighborhood from blight. City and County code enforcement is just not enough, as outlined in "Battle over blight," Marietta Daily Journal article from Jan. 22, 2007.
A good summary of the Georgia Property Owners Association Act is published at the Legacy Park homeowners association webpage. A copy of the Legacy Park post can downloaded by right clicking here.
The full text of the law can be seen here.
During 2007 WHFHA will be asking homeowners to sign a document that causes our association to be governed by the Georgia Property Owners Association Act. To see the document to be signed, click HERE.
You write very well.
