Summary: A constitutional amendment to authorize a Willow Point Estates road maintenance district in Tallapoosa County, created by local law and funded by annual charges on lot owners, with roads transferred to the district.
What This Bill Does
It would let the Legislature create a road maintenance district as a public corporation in Willow Point Estates. The district can be formed only after a petition and a majority vote by qualified voters, with each lot having one vote, and road owners must join the petition and transfer ownership of the roads to the district (except for Glynmere at Willow Point). Once created, the district may assess annual road maintenance charges on lot owners to pay for road maintenance, construction, repair, paving, and district administration; nonpayment can result in a lien on the property.

Who It Affects
Willow Point Estates property owners (lot owners) who will vote in the referendum to form the road maintenance district
Owners of roads in Willow Point Estates (excluding Glynmere at Willow Point) who must join the petition and transfer road ownership to the district for it to be established
