Do I Need a Fence Permit in Resaca?
Gordon County Building Inspection in Calhoun issues building permits for Resaca and confirms whether your fence needs one. The county's development code allows residential fences to 6 feet on the sides and rear and 5 feet in front, keeps privacy and chain link to side and rear yards, and permits barbed, hog, and electric wire in rural districts. We confirm how those rules apply inside the town limits.
What Is the Ground Like in Resaca?
River bottom along the Oostanaula, which forms here where the Conasauga and Coosawattee meet. River-bottom lots have flood exposure, and we check the flood map per parcel.
What Are Homes and Properties Like in Resaca?
A small town of 1,142 people (2020), incorporated in 1981, with rural acreage around it and poultry farms in the area. Gordon County has 592 farms on 77,290 acres, and 95 percent of farm sales are livestock and poultry.
Which Fences Suit Resaca?
Resaca is small-town lots and rural acreage, and Gordon County's front-yard rules shape both. In front, keep it to 5 feet and an open style such as aluminum or a wood picket, since privacy and chain link belong on the sides and rear, where the limit is 6 feet. Poultry farms take chain link or field fence around houses and drives; cattle ground takes woven wire with a wood top rail, and rural districts allow barbed, hog, and electric wire where the job calls for it. On river-bottom parcels along the Oostanaula, posts set in concrete and open styles that let floodwater through hold up best. Near the battlefield, we lay out the line around any earthworks.
What Are the Landmarks in Resaca?
I-75 Exit 320 and GA-136, US-41, the Resaca Battlefield Historic Site (more than 500 acres, opened in 2016), and the 1866 Resaca Confederate Cemetery.

Fence Questions From Resaca
Something else on your mind? Call (423) 842-8700 and ask.
What are the fence rules in Resaca?
Gordon County's: 6 feet on the sides and rear, 5 feet in front, with privacy and chain link kept out of the front yard. Barbed, hog, and electric wire are allowed in rural districts. We confirm how they apply inside the town.
Do you fence poultry farms?
Yes. Chain link and field fence around poultry houses and drives, with farm gates where you need them.
How far is Resaca from your office?
About an hour from our office on Hixson Pike. The estimate is free and on site.
Are there battlefield earthworks on private land?
Yes. Civil War earthworks survive on private land around Resaca as well as inside the 500-acre Resaca Battlefield Historic Site. We lay out the fence line to leave them undisturbed.
Does the river floodplain affect my fence?
It can. The Oostanaula forms at Resaca where the Conasauga and Coosawattee meet, and river-bottom lots have flood exposure. We check the flood map for your parcel; open styles like chain link let floodwater pass.
