HOA Management Software for Georgia
Purpose-built for communities governed by Georgia Property Owners' Association Act (O.C.G.A. §44-3-220+) and Georgia Condominium Act (O.C.G.A. §44-3-70+). Auto-generated filings, state-statute-aware AI, and a free tier for small HOAs.
Built for Georgia's rules
Every state's HOA statute has its own filing windows, disclosure requirements, and election rules. ForgeHOA's AI cites them inline and our workflows match them out of the box.
- POA Act opt-in tracking, Georgia's POA Act only applies if the declaration expressly elects in. ForgeHOA captures the election status on the community profile and routes fine/lien workflows accordingly
- Statutory lien workflow per §44-3-232, automatic lien on assessments, 4-year statute of limitations on collection, foreclosure procedures supported
- Fining procedure template aligned with §44-3-223 (POA-elected) or governing-document procedures (non-elected), ForgeHOA picks the correct path automatically
- Georgia Condominium Act (§§44-3-70+) workflows for condos, different from POA, mandatory and not opt-in, with §44-3-109 lien priority and §44-3-101 financial-statement rules
- Annual meeting + budget ratification with the notice windows from your declaration, most GA HOAs run on bylaws, so ForgeHOA reads your governing docs and parameterizes notice periods and quorum
Frequently asked questions
Is my Georgia HOA actually under the POA Act?
Probably not, and this surprises a lot of boards. Georgia's Property Owners' Association Act (O.C.G.A. §44-3-220 et seq.) is opt-in: it only applies if the recorded declaration explicitly says it does, and the declaration was recorded after July 1, 1994. The majority of Georgia HOAs run entirely on their own covenants and bylaws. ForgeHOA asks during onboarding whether your declaration elects POA-Act coverage and adapts the fine, lien, and notice workflows accordingly. If you're not sure, the answer is in the first few pages of your declaration.
Does ForgeHOA support both Georgia HOAs and condo associations?
Yes. The Georgia Condominium Act (O.C.G.A. §44-3-70 et seq.) is mandatory for all condos and is not opt-in. It carries different rules than the POA Act: §44-3-109 statutory lien with priority over later mortgages for up to six months of assessments, §44-3-101 financial reporting, and specific reserve and insurance obligations. ForgeHOA picks the correct chapter when you set the community type and routes condo associations through Condo Act workflows automatically.
How long does a Georgia HOA have to collect unpaid assessments?
Under §44-3-232 (POA-elected communities) and analogous principles for non-POA HOAs, the statute of limitations on collection of unpaid assessments is generally four years from when each installment came due. Liens attach automatically on assessment, but enforcement has to start within the limitations period. ForgeHOA tracks each assessment's aging from the original due date, surfaces the 4-year cliff in the delinquency report, and exports the lien-perfection package when it's time to escalate.
Does ForgeHOA handle Georgia fining procedures?
Yes, and the procedure depends on whether the POA Act applies. POA-elected associations follow §44-3-223 (notice, opportunity to cure, hearing). Non-POA associations follow whatever procedure their declaration and bylaws require. ForgeHOA reads the community type during setup, applies the right notice template and timeline, and refuses to advance a fine to lien status without the supporting hearing record on file.
