What law does the Georgia Condominium Act refer to?

The Georgia Condominium Act is Article 3, which runs from O.C.G.A. § 44-3-70 through § 44-3-117. It covers the creation of condominiums by recording condominium instruments, the organization of the association, assessments and liens, amendments, and resale disclosure. O.C.G.A. § 44-3-70 supplies the name those sections share.

Does the short title affect how the Georgia Condominium Act is interpreted?

A short-title section names the body of law and aids citation; the operative requirements live in the other sections of the article. For example, definitions are in O.C.G.A. § 44-3-71, the assessment lien and judicial foreclosure are in O.C.G.A. § 44-3-109, and resale disclosure is in O.C.G.A. § 44-3-111.
