State College, PA asked in Business Formation and Business Law for Georgia

Q: For part 9, if the business rents the property, does it then need to register as a foreign LLC?

I am wondering if buying and renting residential property in GA means the out of state LLC needs to register as a foreign LLC in GA. No other business will be conducted outside of renting to tenants in the state of GA.

1 Lawyer Answer

A: Simply owning the property would not require foreign entity registration, but if the LLC rents out the property it would be deemed to be conducting business in Georgia and would be required to register with the Georgia Secretary of State.
