No defensible-space ordinance — Snellville is suburban, not in a wildfire zone. Property maintenance code requires removal of dead/diseased trees posing hazard and weeds over typical height limit.
Unlike western states, Georgia has no defensible-space law for wildfire clearance around homes. Snellville's property maintenance provisions address overgrown vegetation and hazardous trees as general nuisance issues. Dead trees at risk of falling on neighbors' property or roadways may be ordered removed by code enforcement.
