I am in a farily new subdivison and the HOA is handled by the development company and we have a few more years before we can take over or get rid of them. They do not communicate with us. They asked that we submit information and requests in writing but to no avail. They have taken our yearly dues and we have no account information, no annual meeting planned and we are not happy with the landscape company.

Is there someone we can contact the governs develpoment companies that handle HOA?

KevinG - You might want to start by contacting your state department of community affairs:

Central Office
60 Executive Park South, NE
Atlanta, GA 30329
(404) 679-4940
(800) 359-4663
www.dca.state.ga.us

Find out if there is a Georgia Planned Real Estate Development Act. If so, learn it.

Get a copy of your public offerring statement/ governing documents. Read the documents in their entirety, know your rights. The developer may not be required to hold monthly meetings but should be required to hold annual meetings. Get organinzed and find a spokesperson. Politely request in writing the developer meet with the owners to provide updates as to the construction of the developement, etc. Your gov. docs may call for transtion elections that occur to fill the developer seats as homes are closed. If so, it's in the best interests for the developer to keep the residents informed and happy.

I was one of the first homeowners in a subdivision of north metro Atlanta. The HOA was not turned over to the homeowners until a certain percentage of the homes were sold. Until then, the MC works for the developer and not the homeowners. If you are unhappy with something, you may want to contact the developer to get it resolved. Once the HOA is turned over to the residents then you can start looking at some changes but I recommend that you take your time in doing so.
