Allied Property Group v. Perrin Oaks HOA - Interlocutory Application Dismissed
Summary
Allied Property Group, LLC's interlocutory appeal application was dismissed as untimely by the Court of Appeals of Georgia. The trial court had granted Allied a certificate of immediate review on March 17, 2026, but Allied did not file its application until March 31, 2026—four days past the March 27, 2026 deadline prescribed by OCGA § 5-6-34(b). The court held that the statutory requirements for interlocutory review are jurisdictional, and non-compliance deprives the appellate court of authority to hear the application.
“The requirements of OCGA § 5-6-34(b) are jurisdictional, and if a party seeking interlocutory review does not comply with these requirements, we lack jurisdiction to consider its application.”

What changed
The Court of Appeals of Georgia dismissed Allied Property Group, LLC's interlocutory application as untimely. The trial court had dismissed Allied's claims against the HOA and its board members, but certified the matter for immediate review on March 17, 2026. Allied had ten days—until March 27, 2026—to file its application with the appellate court but filed on March 31, 2026. The court held that OCGA § 5-6-34(b)'s requirements are jurisdictional, not merely procedural.
Parties seeking interlocutory review in Georgia must strictly adhere to the ten-day certificate and filing deadlines under OCGA § 5-6-34(b). Litigants who miss these deadlines must wait until final judgment to pursue their appeal. Property owners and HOAs involved in covenant enforcement disputes should ensure their legal counsel calendars all appellate deadlines precisely.

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
April 23, 2026
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A26I0178. ALLIED PROPERTY GROUP, LLC v. PERRIN OAKS
HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC., et al.
After Allied Property Group, LLC made substantial modifications to the
exterior of a home it owns in the Perrin Oaks subdivision, the subdivision’s
homeowners association (“HOA”) cited the company for failure to comply with the
neighborhood’s declaration of covenants. Additionally, the HOA issued a directive
to Allied requiring it to remediate any modifications that violated the Declarations,
and imposed fines for every day the property remained in violation. Allied then filed
the underlying action asserting a number of claims against the HOA and its individual
board members (collectively, “Defendants”). Defendant asserted several
counterclaims, sought a protective order, moved to dismiss Allied’s claims against
them. Following a hearing, the trial court entered an order dismissing all of the claims
brought by Allied, but left the Defendants’ counterclaims pending.1 On March 17,
2026 the trial court granted Allied a certificate of immediate review. Allied filed this
application for interlocutory review on March 31, 2026. We lack jurisdiction.
Under OCGA § 5-6-34(b), a party may request interlocutory review if the trial
court certifies within ten days of entry of the order at issue that immediate review
should be had. Additionally, an application for interlocutory review must be filed in
this Court within ten days after the certificate of immediate review is granted. OCGA §
5-6-34(b). See Genter v. State, 218 Ga. App. 311, 311 (460 SE2d 879) (1995); Graves
1
The order also denied as moot Defendants’ motion for a protective order.
v. Dean, 166 Ga. App. 186, 186 (303 SE2d 751) (1983). Here, the trial court entered
the certificate of immediate review on March 17, 2026, meaning that Allied had to file
its application for interlocutory appeal no later than March 27, 2026. Allied’s
application, however, was not filed until March 31, 2026.
The requirements of OCGA § 5-6-34(b) are jurisdictional, and if a party seeking
interlocutory review does not comply with these requirements, we lack jurisdiction to
consider its application. See Islamkhan v. Khan, 299 Ga. 548, 551 (2) (787 SE2d 731)
(2016) (“when the order appealed from is an interlocutory order, the appellate court
does not acquire jurisdiction unless the procedure of OCGA § 5–6–34(b) for
interlocutory appeal is followed”) (citation and punctuation omitted). Accord
Settendown Pub. Utility, LLC v. Waterscape Utility, LLC, 324 Ga. App. 652, 653 (751
SE2d 463) (2013) (the “interlocutory appeal statute is not a run-of-the-mill procedural
provision [but instead] is a jurisdictional law by which the General Assembly has
limited the authority of Georgia’s appellate courts to hear certain cases”) (citation and
punctuation omitted). Instead, where a party files an untimely application for
interlocutory appeal, it must wait until after the entry of final judgment to appeal. See
Duke v. State, 306 Ga. 171, 178 (3)(a) (829 SE2d 348) (2019).
Because we are without jurisdiction to consider this application, it is hereby
DISMISSED.
