Smyrna does not require neighbor consent before fence installation. Setback and height rules from Zoning Appendix A apply. Boundary disputes are a civil matter under Georgia property law.
Smyrna's zoning code does not require neighbor notification or consent before installing a fence. The property owner is responsible for ensuring the fence is within their property boundaries and complies with all setback, height, and material requirements under Zoning Appendix A. Fence boundary disputes between neighbors are civil matters governed by Georgia property law, not the city code. Stream buffers (25-foot undisturbed buffer along state waters) may restrict fence placement near streams.
Building on neighbor's property: civil liability. Encroachment: forced removal possible by court order.
