What fraction of owners in a Georgia Community Association (GCA) must vote to amend a covenant?

In Georgia, amending a covenant in a Community Association typically requires a two-thirds majority of the owners to vote in favor of the amendment. This means that at least two-thirds of the votes cast must be for the change in order for it to be approved. The rationale behind this requirement is to ensure that a significant majority of the community supports any modifications to the governing documents that outline the rules and regulations of the association. This higher threshold is meant to protect minority interests and maintain stability within the community, as amendments could significantly impact the governance and operations of the association.

While other fractions such as one-half, three-quarters, or five-sixths can be used in different contexts or specific amendments, the standard requirement for amending covenants in most cases is indeed two-thirds, reflecting a compromise between allowing for changes when necessary and ensuring that those changes have broad support within the community.
