Conservation-use covenant releases and a penalty notice appear on Paulding County assessors’ agenda

The Paulding County Board of Assessors agenda for April 29 includes multiple conservation-use covenant items: a release of covenants due to term expiration (carried forward from old business) and a Notice of Intent to Assess Penalty for breach of a conservation-use covenant tied to Lanier Felton (account 91900).

The agenda shows the covenant-release matter was tabled from the April 15 meeting and reappears under new business as an item for consideration. The Notice of Intent to Assess Penalty names the affected account (91900) and the property owner (Lanier Felton) but the provided transcript lines do not include factual detail about the alleged breach, the size or nature of any proposed penalty, staff findings, or a board decision.

Because the transcript consists of the printed agenda lines only, residents and interested parties should consult meeting minutes or staff reports for parcel-specific information, the alleged covenant violations, and whether the board voted or directed staff to pursue enforcement or release.
