Athens City Code

In order that the city may at all times have a permanent record of the ownership of all city cemetery lots, it is a civil offense for any person, firm or corporation owning a cemetery lot in the city cemeteries (Cedar Grove Cemetery, Sullins Cemetery, or Hammonds Cemetery) to sell, transfer, or convey the same without obtaining the prior written consent of the community development director or his or her designee. All transfers of ownership in plots and all assignments shall be subject to a charge of $10.00, to be paid to the city at the time of transfer or assignment.
