Coweta County treats overgrown grass and weeds as a public nuisance under O.C.G.A. 41-2-5. The Code Enforcement Division handles complaints on unincorporated lots and can have the growth cut and billed to the owner.
In unincorporated Coweta County, the Code Enforcement Division works overgrown-vegetation complaints as a public nuisance under Georgia's O.C.G.A. 41-2-5, which sends abatement of a rural-county nuisance to the magistrate court. Rather than one fixed lawn-height number for occupied homes, enforcement targets vacant lots, abandoned parcels, and overgrowth that harbors pests, snakes, or vermin. The owner gets written notice with a deadline to cut. Ignore it and the county can abate the growth and charge the owner, attaching a lien for unpaid costs. Inside Newnan and Senoia city limits, municipal codes set their own numeric grass-height limits.
Written notice with a deadline to cut. If ignored, the county can abate the growth and bill the owner. Unpaid abatement costs attach as a lien on the property.
