Paulding County's zoning code sets no general residential fence-height limit. UDO Section 240-160 regulates only corner sight-triangles: nothing over three feet within 15 feet of a street intersection. Building permits apply above seven feet.
Paulding County zones its unincorporated land under the Unified Development Ordinance, but the only fence rule in UDO Section 240-160 is a corner-visibility standard, not a height cap. A homeowner may build a six- or eight-foot privacy fence in a rear or side yard without violating any zoning height limit. The one hard restriction: no fence, wall, planting, or obstruction over three feet may sit within 15 feet of where two street rights-of-way meet, protecting driver sight lines. Recorded HOA covenants in Dallas and Hiram subdivisions routinely impose their own height and style caps that bind each lot by contract.
A fence blocking the corner sight-triangle draws a Community Development correction order to lower or remove it. There is no zoning height violation for a tall backyard fence. HOA height breaches are enforced in civil court.
