Georgia Signs a Property Owners' Bill of Rights After Months of HOA Complaints

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed the Property Owners' Bill of Rights Act, adding new registration, recordkeeping, and foreclosure-limit requirements for the state's HOAs, after months of public pressure and an investigative news series on HOA fines and foreclosures.

The bill passed the state House 155-10 after dozens of homeowners rallied at the Capitol for an 'HOA Advocacy Day.' It's one of several states in 2026 to pass real, binding new limits on HOA power rather than just talking about it.
