- Summary
Proposes a local constitutional amendment to create a Willow Point Estates road maintenance district in Tallapoosa County funded by annual charges on lot owners.
What This Bill DoesAllows the Legislature, by local law, to establish a road maintenance district as a public corporation made up of Willow Point Estates lot owners. The district would be able to assess and collect annual road maintenance charges to pay for maintenance, construction, repair, and paving of district roads and for district administration, with unpaid charges forming a lien on the property. Formation requires a petition from road owners and a majority vote in a referendum, with each lot having one vote; the district can be created only if owners of the roads join the petition and transfer ownership of the roads to the district, except for the Glynmere at Willow Point subdivision. After transfer, roads are owned by the district for the benefit of Willow Point Estates owners and are treated as private roads to be maintained by the district.
Who It Affects- Willow Point Estates lot owners in Tallapoosa County, who would be subject to annual road maintenance charges and stand to benefit from road maintenance.
- Owners of roads within Willow Point Estates who must join the petition to transfer ownership to the district (except for Glynmere at Willow Point) in order to establish the district.
