Developer Services
Support Georgia’s Developers from Planning Through Transition
A lot of time, effort, and money goes into developing a new community in Atlanta and throughout Georgia. From establishing the operational framework to creating governing documents and setting up amenities, the work goes on long after home construction begins.
At Atlanta Community Services, our expert team partners with developers to provide the framework every association needs to succeed. We pride ourselves on providing the practical support developers need to get their communities started right while also preparing the association for the transition to homeowner control.
You will be surprised what you can get done when you have an experienced, local management team by your side. Let the professionals at ACS reduce the administrative burden on your development team and set your Georgia community up for success.
Developer Services Designed For Your Community
Every metro Atlanta and Georgian community association is different. Your needs, budgets, and goals will vary. That is why the managers at Atlanta Community Services work directly with developers to determine the exact combination of services your community requires. By tailoring our management plans to your needs, we will reduce the stress on your developer and ensure a smooth transition to homeowner control.
Most developers in Georgia choose our comprehensive management services. However, you can also choose our financial or ACC compliance stand-alone services. Your ACS team will work with you to create a services plan that fits your association’s current needs and can evolve as development progresses.

What are Developer Services
Developer services support builders and developers of communities. They help developers establish and operate a community association during the early stages of a community’s development.
Because new communities have unique needs that differ from established HOAs and other associations, developer services should be provided by experienced teams. Atlanta Community Services has the local knowledge your community needs to navigate Georgia’s regulatory environment. Yet, we are also experienced in community setup, meaning our team can help developers establish efficient processes from the beginning and prepare for a successful transition to homeowner leadership.

That partner is Atlanta Community Services.
