Forcible Self-Help Lot Entry, Non-Visible Interior Inspection, or Wildfire Defensible-Space Obstruction: Clause authorizes forcible non-judicial lot entry, interior garage inspections, or obstructs wildfire defensible-space clearing under GA law.
Operative Clause · Sec. 2 (Page 1)
“All costs of self-help, including reasonable attorney's fees actually incurred shall be assessed against the violating Lot Owner and shall be collected as provided her”
Under O.C.G.A. §§ 44-3-220 to 44-3-235 (Georgia Property Owners' Association Act); Restatement (Third) of Property (Servitudes) § 6.8, associations cannot authorize forcible self-help entry onto private lots without judicial process or emergency necessity, cannot regulate non-visible interior garage spaces, and cannot penalize mandatory wildfire defensible-space clearing.
(Note: Because this Declaration does not contain an affirmative submission to the Georgia Property Owners' Association Act under O.C.G.A. § 44-3-222, statutory POAA liens and powers do not apply unless opted in by recorded amendment; governance and suspension authority are controlled by the Georgia Nonprofit Corporation Code, O.C.G.A. § 14-3-101 et seq., and common-law servitude principles.).
