DeKalb County zoning (Chapter 27) allows wood, vinyl, masonry, aluminum, and wrought iron. Barbed and razor wire prohibited in residential districts. Chain-link discouraged in front yards.
DeKalb County Zoning Ordinance Chapter 27 regulates fence materials by district. Residential R-75, R-85, R-100, and R-200 zones allow wood, vinyl, masonry, decorative metal, and aluminum. Chain-link is permitted but generally discouraged forward of the front building line. Barbed wire, razor wire, and electrified fences are prohibited in residential districts and allowed only in industrial M zones with review. Historic Druid Hills (local historic district) and the Stone Mountain Historic District require Historic Preservation Commission approval for fence style and material. HOAs in Dunwoody, Brookhaven (now a separate city), and Toco Hills frequently mandate specific wood or brick styles.
Non-compliant materials: correction notice from code enforcement. Failure to comply: $100 to $1,000. Historic district violations heard by HPC; additional restoration orders possible.
