Georgia has no shared-cost or 'good neighbor' fence statute, so each Coweta County owner builds and pays for their own fence on their own side of the surveyed line. Disputes are civil, not county, matters.
Fence disputes in Coweta County are governed by Georgia common law, not a cost-sharing statute. Georgia never enacted a good-neighbor fence act, so a neighbor has no obligation to split the cost of a boundary fence. Build entirely on your own side of the line; a survey settles the true boundary before posts go in. A fence built purely to spite a neighbor, with no legitimate use, can be attacked as a common-law private nuisance. The county does not referee boundary or cost disputes, and recorded HOA covenants may add their own fence rules on top of state law.
A fence encroaching on a neighbor's land is a civil trespass a court can order moved or removed. Cost and boundary disputes are resolved in magistrate or superior court, not by the county.
