Roswell tightens codes, including clothesline rules | ajc.com

Roswell tightens codes, including clothesline rules | ajc.com: "Nothing seems simpler than a load of fresh laundry hung on a clothesline to dry. Unless you live in Roswell, where a public view of socks and shirtsleeves snapping in the breeze may spell trouble. As part of an effort to strengthen code enforcement rules, the city last week started requiring its residents to hide clotheslines behind houses. The city also lowered the acceptable height of weeds and grass from 18 inches to 10 inches and reduced the time homeowners have to tidy their properties from 10 to three days. While other local governments in metro Atlanta don't admit to regulating clotheslines, it isn't uncommon to find such bans in neighborhood association covenants."

There is some sort of convergence between municipalities and HOAs going on. Thanks to Fred Pilot for this link.
