Hall County, GA Right to Farm: Agricultural Zoning Protection (2026)

1). 1 backs that intent with dimensional standards built around farming: a minimum lot size of 5 acres, a density cap of 2 dwellings per lot, 35 percent maximum site coverage, and yards of 40 feet front, 15 feet side and 25 feet rear, all more permissive of large working parcels than the county's residential districts. 2 carries the same farming-and-residential intent onto smaller acreage, with a 43,560-square-foot minimum lot when served by public water (65,340 square feet otherwise). 3 exempts barns, silos and similar structures customary to bona fide agricultural use from the district's normal building-height cap, letting them rise up to 50 feet even where the standard limit for other structures is lower, such as in the 35-foot manufactured home park district.

2) governs which farming, livestock and accessory agricultural uses are permitted outright in AG-1 versus requiring a special or conditional use approval from the Planning Commission.
