Provide for transfer of title of open spaces in final plat to HOA

Added a mandatory public hearing requirement and the need for written findings of fact before a governing body can approve a title transfer.

Added a specific condition that the property to be transferred must not be owned by a person, ensuring only unowned common areas can be transferred.

Amended the definition of 'homeowners' association' to explicitly include the authority to impose liens for unpaid assessments.

Updated numerical references in existing definitions (e.g., renumbering subsections) to reflect the new structure of the bill.

Added an immediate effective date and a retroactive applicability date, allowing the law to apply to events that happened before it became official.

Updated the bill identifier from HB 233.2 to HB 233.3 to track the version number.

Added a new condition prohibiting the transfer of property that is already owned by a person.

Expanded the definition of 'homeowners' association' to explicitly include the power to enact or enforce rules regarding community operations.

Reformatted document headers, page numbers, and renumbered legislative sections and subsections.

The bill number was updated from LC 2535 to HB 233.1, and page headers were changed to reflect the new bill number and 'Authorized Print Version' status.

The numbering sequence for the definitions section was adjusted; 'Immediate family' was renumbered from (9) to (8), and 'Minor subdivision' was renumbered from (10) to (9).
