This legislation revises the vacant and foreclosed property law enacted in 2012 by removing the limitation that only properties that have received a land use disturbance permit can be included on the foreclosed real property registry.  It also clarifies that certain foreclosed properties are not subject to registration if the deed is filed with the clerk of superior court within 60 days of the foreclosure sale or transfer of the deed in lieu of foreclosure.

This legislation mandates that a local jurisdiction's water rate charged to a multi-family dwelling served by a master meter be no more than the water rate charged to a single family dwelling. ACCG is working with the Georgia Association of Water Professionals to understand the impact of this bill, any rate differentials, and will be commenting to the General Assembly.
