Barbed wire, razor wire, electrified fencing, and chain link topped with barbs are prohibited in residential zones. Temporary construction fencing excepted. HOA covenants often restrict further (banning chain link entirely, requiring approved colors).
In addition to general material rules, Snellville explicitly prohibits hazardous fence materials in residential districts: barbed wire, razor wire, concertina wire, and electrified fencing. These may be allowed in industrial or agricultural zones with setback and warning signage. HOA architectural review boards frequently impose stricter material and color requirements (e.g., no chain link, specific wood species, approved paint colors).
Removal order; fines $100-$500 for continued violation.
