Cobb County Code §78-56 caps grass/weeds at 12 inches on improved residential/commercial lots. O.C.G.A. §41-2-5 authorizes nuisance abatement. Kudzu a major invasive concern — owner responsibility on private land.
Cobb County Code §78-56 (Chapter 78, Nuisances) declares grass, weeds, or other vegetation exceeding 12 inches on an improved lot a public nuisance. Code Enforcement (770-528-2180) inspects complaints and posts a 10-day notice to abate. Unimproved wooded tracts are generally exempt. O.C.G.A. §41-2-5 authorizes the county to abate and assess costs as a lien. Kudzu, privet, and Chinese wisteria are rampant across metro Atlanta; property owners are responsible for controlling invasives that encroach on neighbors. The Cobb County Extension Office offers invasive-species guidance. Vacant lots along Powder Springs Road, Austell Road, and South Cobb corridors see frequent enforcement sweeps.
Failure to cut within 10 days of notice: $100–$500 citation plus county-contracted mow-down billed to owner; unpaid costs become a lien on property per O.C.G.A. §41-2-5.
