Governor Brian Kemp declared a 30-day statewide State of Emergency effective as of 12:00 PM on September 29, 2026.
What it Means for GAR Contracts
For all contracts written on a Georgia REALTORS® form that became binding prior to 12:00 PM on September 29, 2026, unexpired deadlines – including the Closing Date – will automatically be extended for eight (8) days. Parties that wish to keep their original deadlines must execute an amendment to that effect.
Contracts that become binding after 12:00 PM on September 29, 2026, will not be impacted with extended deadlines.
