Georgia Minimum Royalty Payments, also known as Georgia minimum royalty rates, refer to the minimum amount of money that must be paid to the owner of a property or mineral rights when extracting, producing, or selling natural resources like oil, gas, coal, or other minerals in the state of Georgia. These minimum royalty payments are a way to ensure fair compensation to landowners for the use of their property. In Georgia, there are different types of minimum royalty payments depending on the resource being extracted or produced. Some common types include: 1.

Oil and gas companies are required to pay a minimum royalty rate to the property owner or mineral rights' holder. 2. Coal Minimum Royalty Payments: If coal is being extracted from a property in Georgia, a specific minimum royalty payment must be made to the landowner or mineral rights' holder. This ensures that coal companies compensate property owners adequately for the use of their land and resources. 3.

Mineral mining companies must adhere to the minimum royalty rates established by the state.
