Question:
As the Secretary of the HOA, I am looking to find information on what steps and legal measures are needed to update the By-Laws of our current HOA. It hasn’t been updated (at all, to our current board’s knowledge) since the neighborhood was built. What steps and measures do we need to take to make any amendments? Will we need a Lawyer or some legal representative to back our proposals? Any guidance or insight is greatly appreciated.

Answer:
Hi Adamantia,
Proposals for amendments may be drafted without a lawyer. However, they are often submitted to the board for discussion and must be voted upon by the community members. In Georgia, condominium associations need at least two-thirds of the votes (or larger, depending on what’s stated in the governing documents) according to the Georgia Condominium Act Section 44-3-93. The same applies to homeowners associations under the Georgia Property Owners’ Association Act Section 44-3-226.
