Coweta County's zoning ordinance sets no general height cap on residential fences. Section 64 expressly allows walls and fences, and the only height rule is a 30-inch limit inside corner sight triangles under Section 66.
Unincorporated Coweta County does not impose a countywide maximum fence height. Section 64 of the Zoning and Development Ordinance states that setback rules do not prohibit any wall or fence, so a six-foot privacy fence or a taller farm fence is generally lawful across the county's suburban and rural land. The real height constraint is safety at intersections: Section 66 bars any sight-obscuring wall, fence, or foliage higher than 30 inches within the corner visibility triangle. Recorded HOA covenants in Newnan-area subdivisions routinely cap height and style more tightly than the county. Cities like Newnan and Senoia set their own limits.
A fence blocking the corner sight triangle above 30 inches draws a county zoning correction notice, with removal or lowering required. HOA height breaches are enforced separately in civil court.
