Common Disputes

What Can You Dispute?

Fine Dispute

Your HOA issued a fine without the required 10-day notice or hearing. Cite O.C.G.A. §44-3-223(c) to demand immediate cancellation.

Rule Violation

HOA claims you violated a rule — but won't provide the exact CC&R language or is enforcing it selectively. Cite O.C.G.A. §44-3-223 to challenge inconsistent enforcement.

HOA Ignoring You

Georgia law generally requires your HOA to respond within 14 business days. If they've gone silent, a formal written follow-up letter helps you document your record before taking next steps.

Maintenance Failure

Your HOA is ignoring a repair to common areas they're legally required to maintain. Force action — and document damages — before escalating to Georgia Attorney General's Office.
