Cobb County has no countywide rental registration requirement. The City of Marietta operates a voluntary Crime Free Multi-Housing Program. Landlords must comply with Cobb County property maintenance code and state building codes.
Cobb County does not require rental property registration or licensing at the county level. Unincorporated Cobb rentals are subject to Cobb County Code Chapter 22 (Buildings) and Chapter 58 (Health, Housing and Sanitation). Marietta runs a voluntary Crime Free Multi-Housing Program for apartment owners through the Marietta Police Department. Smyrna and Kennesaw similarly do not impose mandatory rental registration. Rental units must meet International Property Maintenance Code standards adopted by Cobb, including working smoke detectors, operable heating, safe electrical, and weatherproof exteriors. Carbon monoxide detectors are required in any dwelling with fuel-burning appliances or attached garages per Georgia state law (O.C.G.A. §25-2-40). Short-term rental registration, if required by Cobb Code Chapter 106, is separate from long-term rental registration.
Property maintenance violations: written notice with 10 to 30 day compliance. Code enforcement fines $100 to $1,000 per violation. Uninhabitable units may be posted unfit for occupancy by Cobb Code Enforcement.
