Typical Snellville residential fence limits: 4 ft in front yards, 6 ft in side/rear yards. Corner lots have sight-triangle restrictions at intersections. Taller fences require zoning variance.
Snellville's zoning ordinance follows GA suburban standard: fences up to 4 feet in the front yard setback and up to 6 feet in side and rear yards. Corner lots must maintain a clear sight triangle (typically 25x25 feet) at intersections — no fence over 3 feet in that zone. Taller decorative elements (pillars, arbors) may be allowed with approval. Variances require application to Board of Zoning Appeals.
Zoning violation: code enforcement order to modify/remove. Fines $100-$500 after notice.
