Marietta does not have a specific 'good neighbor' fence ordinance. Finished side must face exterior. Fence ownership disputes governed by Georgia property law. No city-mandated neighbor notification requirement.
Marietta's zoning code requires the finished side of fences to face the exterior (neighboring properties and streets) but does not require neighbor consent or notification before fence installation. Boundary line disputes and fence cost-sharing are governed by Georgia property law and civil courts, not city ordinance. The city does not mediate fence disputes between neighbors. Setback requirements (2 feet from ROW) and height limits under Division 710 must be respected regardless of neighbor agreement.
Building on neighbor's property: civil liability. Encroachment: forced removal possible by court order.
