How fence rules work in Suwanee

Suwanee sits mostly in Gwinnett County and reaches into southeastern Forsyth County, so the first step is knowing which side of the line your property is on. The Suwanee mailing address also covers some properties outside the city limits, which is why a quick jurisdiction check saves headaches later.

Inside the City of Suwanee, the Planning Services, Inspections and Zoning department handles permits. Its building permit page says construction and remodeling work needs a permit and invites homeowners to contact the inspections office before starting, so staff can tell you whether a fence project needs one. Height and setback limits come from the city's zoning ordinance, so ask for the numbers that apply to your zoning district.

Suwanee's own “Before You Dig” guidance points out that Georgia law doesn't require an 811 notice for small, non-mechanized digging such as fence posts, but encourages homeowners to call anyway.
