GA has no statewide shared fence law. Suwanee does not require neighbor approval for fence construction on your property. GA §44-9-1 addresses partition fences for agricultural boundaries only.
Under GA common law, fences built entirely on your property are your responsibility. Shared boundary fences require written agreement for cost-sharing. No state 'spite fence' law — common law nuisance may apply if fence is erected solely to annoy. Suwanee recommends survey before installation to confirm property line.
