Official hosts to re-verify

Teaching points — not conclusions

Which act, if any

Ask whether the association is under the condo act or a POAA that actually opted in. Teaching points to verify on the official Code: notice method, any minimum to foreclose, judicial-only language, lien lapse, registration.

Cross-state pattern

Community type first (HOA / planned / condo). Letterhead is not the book.
Assessments vs fines vs attorney fees on YOUR ledger — split before you write.
Chronology: miss → collection → attorney → lien → filing → hearing/sale.
Itemized invoices. A ledger line is not an invoice.
Calendar clocks you own. Do not skip a hearing.
You are the only sender. This site never files or mails.
If a sale or setting is inside 14–30 days: talk to a licensed local attorney first, then a one-page counsel brief if they ask for one. Fight Coach does not appear.

Red flags (awareness)

Unexplained charges treated as assessments
No documented notice method
Assuming a 2027 bill already governs you
Inventing a foreclosure-minimum dollar figure from a blog

Public story themes

Aggressive power, thin minimums, reform talk.

Atlanta-area investigations have questioned how little it can take to start an HOA foreclosure and whether boards actually authorized the file. Legislative interest exists. Confirm what is in force, including any delayed effective dates.
