What the source says

In Georgia, the same set of prompt payment rules apply to both public and private construction jobs. These statutes can be found in O.C.G.A. §§13-11-1 to 13-11-11. These timeframes apply to almost every construction project in Georgia, with two notable exceptions. In the residential projects world, these regulations don’t apply to residential projects of 12 units or fewer As for public projects, the prompt pay deadlines won’t apply in counties of less than 10,000 people, or towns with a population of less than 2,500. Once a contractor has satisfied the conditions of their contract, they are entitled to payment. A proper invoice, submitted to the owner according to the contract payment terms, will start the clock on the payment deadline. Upon receipt, the owner will have 15 days to release payment to the prime contractor.
