Smyrna has no published standalone beekeeping ordinance. Georgia Apiary Act (GA Code §2-14-40+) governs statewide. Check with Smyrna Planning & Zoning for accessory-use allowance in your zone.
The City of Smyrna does not publish a specific beekeeping ordinance in its code. The Georgia Apiary Act (GA Code §2-14-40+) provides statewide regulation of hive registration and disease management. Beekeeping in Smyrna residential zones would be subject to the city's general zoning rules for accessory uses and any nuisance provisions. Property owners should contact Smyrna Planning & Zoning (678-631-5355) to confirm whether beekeeping is permitted as an accessory use in their specific district. Cobb County Extension Service provides beekeeping management guidance.
Ordinance violation: $50 to $200. Nuisance complaints may trigger additional restrictions.
