Gwinnett County is not in a designated wildfire hazard zone. Metro Atlanta suburban terrain with minimal WUI risk. No CAL FIRE-equivalent maps or special building requirements.
The Georgia Forestry Commission tracks wildfire risk but Gwinnett — fully suburban, 437 sq mi with dense development — is rated low on the Southern Wildfire Risk Assessment. No part of the county falls in a state-designated high-wildfire-hazard zone. There are no WUI (Wildland-Urban Interface) overlay codes, no Chapter 7A-style ignition-resistant construction requirements, and no defensible-space mandates. During extreme drought, the GFC may issue statewide or regional burn bans that Gwinnett enforces; otherwise, wildfire regulation is limited to general outdoor-burning rules.
