Cobb County Ch. 134, §134-267 — fences adjacent to public road ROW or in front/side yard of residential/nonresidential property max 6 feet. Height includes posts and ornaments on both sides. Backfill max 6 inches.
Under Cobb County Zoning Code §134-267 (General Development Standards), any fence adjacent to a public road right-of-way, or in the front yard or side yard of a residential district, shall not exceed 6 feet in height. This height limit includes all posts and ornamental elements on top of the fence, measured from existing grade on both sides of the fence. No more than 6 inches of backfill is allowed against the fence, and this backfill counts toward the total height measurement. Fences must be maintained in structurally sound condition.

Non-compliant fence: correction notice. Failure to comply: $100 to $500 per day. Forced removal possible.
