After Georgia transitioned to a royal colony in 1752, the regulations regarding land ownership changed significantly compared to the earlier period under its founding as a proprietary colony. Initially, when Georgia was established in 1732 by James Oglethorpe and a group of trustees, there were restrictions on land ownership, including limitations on the size of land grants and prohibitions against buying and selling land.
Once Georgia became a royal colony, the British crown lifted many of these restrictions. Colonists were allowed to buy and sell land, which led to increased settlement and economic development. This change encouraged a more typical land market similar to what was found in other British colonies. However, regulations and land tenure issues still existed, and the specifics could vary based on the local governance and laws.
