Coweta County does not license exotic pets itself; Code section 10-3 states that wild and exotic animals are not regulated by the Code, and section 10-35 forwards wild-animal matters to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Many species require a state Wild Animal License.
Coweta County's animal chapter governs domestic animals and expressly leaves wild and exotic animals to the state. Section 10-3 defines wild and exotic animals as untamed animals in their natural habitat and says they are not regulated by the Code, while section 10-35 forwards all wild-animal complaints, except bites, to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Game and Fish Division, or the USDA. Georgia regulates exotic and wild animals through the DNR Wild Animal License and permit system (O.C.G.A. § 27-5-4 et seq.), which prohibits many species, such as large cats, primates, bears, and venomous reptiles, and requires permits and secure caging for those allowed. A resident must satisfy state licensing before keeping any regulated exotic.
Keeping a prohibited or unlicensed wild animal violates Georgia DNR law and can bring confiscation, state fines, and criminal charges. The owner is liable for damage caused by an escaped exotic animal.
