Smaller residential districts
The brochure lists R-30, R-20, R-15, R-12, RD, RA-4 and RA-5: one vehicle, one boat, one RV or a combination totaling three may be in side/rear yards on a hardened surface.
Large-lot districts
For R-40, R-80 and RR, more than three boats or RVs must be screened from public roads by a buffer approved by the county landscape architect or a fence.
Condition and front areas
Valid plates and decals are required unless the vehicle is completely enclosed in a building. Parking on grass or an unimproved surface between the roadway and front setback line is restricted. This dated brochure does not establish guest occupancy or utility rights.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm your address, zoning district and exact parking or occupancy plan with Cobb County planning or code enforcement through the official source. For public streets, also ask the agency responsible for that road.
Use the Cobb County parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
