Coweta County vacant-lot owners must keep their land free of accumulated waste and open dumping. The county has no fixed grass-height inch limit for unincorporated lots; it enforces dumping and unsightly accumulation under Chapter 62.
In the largely rural unincorporated county there is no adopted grass-height numeric limit for private lots as suburban cities use; instead the code targets waste and dumping. Section 62-16 bars open dumping on a person's property and unsightly or hazardous accumulations of garbage. Owners get a notice-and-cure path: once written notice is given that litter or solid waste has been dumped, an owner who fails within 15 days to give written assurance it will be cleaned up within 30 days is presumed in violation. Illegal dumping is also a state crime under O.C.G.A. § 16-7-51, and Georgia nuisance law, O.C.G.A. § 41-2-5, adds abatement authority.
Open dumping or accumulated waste on a vacant lot violates Chapter 62 and O.C.G.A. § 16-7-51; after written notice and a missed 15-day response, the owner is presumed in violation and faces Code Enforcement action.
