Local Issues

REALTORS® Call for Action!

April 22, 2019

Please let our Representatives know that Georgia REALTORS® support House Bill 302!

Many of our local educators, police, firefighters, and emergency service workers are priced out of their communities by local government regulations.  HB302 will put a stop to those regulatory burdens and provide these individuals the freedom to build their dream home!

Homeownership creates stability, and vibrant local communities. If we want our communities to be strong, prosperous, and unique in the present and future, then we don’t need local government dictating a singular design standard with a “one size fits all” approach. Citizens in our communities that choose to become homeowners should also be allowed to choose their own home design.

Architects design houses, not bureaucrats. Your home is YOUR castle, not a GOVERNMENT vision.

HB302 preserves safety and structural standards statewide.  HB302 only impacts single and two-family residential homes (not in an HOA Community, or historic district). HB302 protects homeownership, and private property rights by stopping encroachment of government into the lives of citizens.
