Georgia Property manager licensing

Property manager licensing in Georgia

A landlord who does not live in Georgia and owns or operates single-family or duplex rentals there must employ a Georgia-licensed real estate broker (O.C.G.A. § 44-7-25(a)). Anyone who, for a fee, collects rents or performs property management services for another is acting as a broker (O.C.G.A. § 43-40-1(2)(C), (H)) and must hold a real estate license unless exempt under § 43-40-29 (§ 43-40-30(b)). Owners, their spouses and family members, and their regular employees managing the owner's own property are exempt, as are attorneys, court-appointed fiduciaries and some others (O.C.G.A. § 43-40-29(a)).
