Cobb County Zoning Ordinance §134 permits wood, vinyl, masonry, wrought iron, and chain-link fencing. Barbed wire and electric fences prohibited in residential districts (R-20, R-15, R-30, etc.). Chain-link discouraged in front yards.
Fence materials in unincorporated Cobb County are regulated by the Zoning Ordinance (Ch. 134). Permitted residential materials include wood, vinyl, aluminum, wrought iron, masonry, and chain-link. Barbed wire, razor ribbon, and electrified fences are prohibited in all residential zoning districts but allowed in agricultural (AG) and industrial (HI, LI) districts with conditions. Chain-link fencing is generally discouraged in front-yard setbacks and may require Design Review in overlay districts like Vinings Village, Powder Springs Road, and Mableton Form-Based Code area. HOAs in Cobb's planned communities (East Cobb, Kennesaw, Acworth) almost always dictate specific materials and often require black or dark-green coated chain-link if any. Cobb's humid subtropical climate favors pressure-treated pine and PVC vinyl for longevity.
Prohibited material installation: code enforcement notice; 30-day correction window; $100–$500 citation if not removed; forced removal at owner expense possible.
