After consulting an attorney, I don’t believe the board can legally change our Lake Association to a POA without consent of 2/3 members (property owners).

The reasons why a community should adopt the Georgia property owners’ association act
Agreed. I do hope to see others there tonight at the meeting to make sure everyone is aware of what’s going on. While our current Declaration allows limited amendments for maintenance and governance, owners never consented to the creation of a modern POAA-governed association with sweeping enforcement authority, fines, liens, and use restrictions. That expansion required informed owner approval, which did not occur.
Property owners will need to vote on the matter, or sign a petition that will require 2/3’s of the property owners agreeing to the POA.

The POA was presented last night. You may review it as it is listed on the website. Voting will be January 14, 2026. We will meet at Talahi Lake Community Center at 7:00 pm (hours may be adjusted). A 2/3 majority will be required to pass.
I hope this helps everyone with the timeline.
