How fence rules work in Kennesaw
Kennesaw publishes its fence rules plainly: the city's Planning & Zoning page lists “Fence regulations” and points to Section 6.13.01 of the Unified Development Code. The same page says fence and sign permits are applied for through the city's online permit portal, and the building services page says all permits must be applied for online.
The city notes that if you're unsure whether a project needs a permit, or whether your property is inside city limits, the permit office can tell you. That second question matters in Cobb County, where Kennesaw's rules apply inside the city and Cobb County's rules apply in unincorporated areas.
Homeowners doing their own work may need a homeowner affidavit, and the process differs when a contractor does the work, so mention up front who is building the fence when you contact the permit office.
