Snellville has no dark-sky lighting ordinance. Georgia has no statewide dark-sky law. General standards in zoning code require downward-facing commercial fixtures to reduce glare onto neighbors.
Unlike some western states, Georgia has no dark-sky mandate. Snellville zoning code includes glare-reduction provisions for commercial and multifamily lighting — fixtures must be shielded/downward-facing so that direct light does not spill onto adjacent residential properties or roadways. Residential outdoor lighting is largely unregulated except for light trespass complaints. LED streetlights installed by GA Power are managed by city request.
