Coweta County has no ordinance prohibiting the feeding of deer, coyotes, or other wildlife. Under Code section 10-35, wild-animal matters are handled by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, not county animal services.
Coweta County does not ban feeding wildlife. Its animal chapter addresses domestic animals, and 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 DNR discourages feeding deer, warning that it concentrates animals and habituates them, and the state manages nuisance wildlife such as coyotes across Coweta's rural and exurban land. Practical constraints still apply: under section 10-36 and the nuisance provisions, unsecured trash or pet food that draws animals can trigger county enforcement, and HOA covenants may limit feeders in subdivisions.
No county penalty targets wildlife feeding directly. Feeding that creates a sanitation or nuisance condition can draw county nuisance enforcement, and Georgia DNR can act on habituated-wildlife problems.
