City of Atlanta v. Mays

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the trial court’s judgment that the City of Atlanta’s annexations of five unincorporated areas were invalid because the areas became part of the newly incorporated City of South Fulton on July 1, 2016 under HB 514. The Court also held that HB 514 does not violate the Uniformity Clause, that the July 1 boundary date is mandatory, and that the appeal was not moot.
