FAQ
Georgia common law was generally hostile to restrictive covenants but was more permissive of anti-raiding restrictions such as employee non-solicitation provisions. Georgia's passage of the Restrictive Covenants Act (RCA) in 2011 made enforcement of valid restrictive covenants easier than it had been before.
My limited understanding is, restrictive covenants are only enforceable by a home owners association created among them. A local government isn't going to swoop in and enforce, or defend, a covenant that you created on your property. The local government is only concerned with land use ordinance's and state laws.
Restrictive covenants are laws imposed by local government authorities. FALSE. Restrictive covenants are requirements imposed by neighborhoods in order to maintain resale value. Zoning ordinances are government-authorized laws.
Following that general consensus throughout the country, Georgia law likewise generally provided at Code Section 44-5-60 that covenants restricting the use of land would be valid for a maximum of twenty years, and at the end of the twenty years, the restrictive covenants would automatically expire.
Restrictive covenants are usually enforced by the association's board. These agreements are also called Declarations of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs).
What is a restrictive covenant? A restrictive covenant is a contract between 2 landowners. One landowner promises the other landowner not to carry out certain acts on their own land. Restrictive covenants usually happen when somebody selling land wishes to restrict what the buyer can do with it.
In Georgia, the enforceability of restrictive covenants is governed by the GRCA, OCGA § 13-8-50 et seq. The GRCA provides that employment contracts that restrict competition must be “reasonable in time, geographic area, and scope of prohibited activities.” OCGA § 13-8-53(a).
Q: Are non-compete agreements enforceable in Georgia even if signed after employment commences and/or without any additional consideration? A: Yes, continued employment is generally considered sufficient consideration for a non-compete in Georgia.
