Pain Check

This sound right?

  • Your decorations stayed up a week 'too long' and you got a fine
  • The CC&Rs don't actually specify a removal deadline
  • Religious or cultural displays are being treated unfairly
  • Other homes have similar displays without consequence
  • No 10-day cure period was given before the fine

Georgia Law on Your Side

Georgia law typically requires HOAs to apply rules uniformly and provide proper notice. Holiday displays may also implicate free-expression protections.
