Neither Marietta nor Cobb County has a breed-specific ordinance (BSL). Dangerous and vicious dog classifications are based on individual animal behavior under GA Code §4-8-20+ state law.
Cobb County and the City of Marietta do not maintain breed-specific legislation. Dangerous dog status is determined by individual behavior under Georgia's Responsible Dog Ownership Law (GA Code §§4-8-20 through 4-8-33). A dog may be classified as 'dangerous' or 'vicious' based on specific incidents regardless of breed. Owners of classified dangerous dogs must maintain proper enclosures and comply with reporting and registration requirements. The state maintains a dangerous dog registry.
Breed restriction violation: $200 to $1,000. Animal impoundment possible. Mandatory conditions for return.
