Bill would cap condo and POA closing letter fees at $250
Summary
Representative Lewis Ward told the Rules Committee HB 1222 would amend the Georgia condo act and property owners association act to limit closing/settlement letter fees to $250; the sponsor said the measure is an updated version of a bill previously vetoed but now amended.
Representative Lewis Ward presented House Bill 1222, explaining that the bill would amend the Georgia Condominium Act and the Georgia Property Owners Association Act to allow those entities to charge no more than $250 for a closing or settlement letter.
Chairman Powell asked whether the bill was substantially the same as a version passed in 2019 that was later vetoed; Ward said the measure had been amended and is applicable today. The presentation to the Rules Committee was brief and drew no follow‑up questions beyond the clarification on its relation to the earlier bill.
The committee did not record a vote on HB 1222 at the Rules meeting.
