Vinings and the river

Vinings is an unincorporated community in Cobb County, about 9 miles from downtown Atlanta, set between I-285 and the Chattahoochee River across from Buckhead. It is known for its historic sites along Paces Ferry Road and is close to The Battery. Because Vinings runs along the river bank, flood risk is worth checking for any address. Cobb County maps the 1 percent annual chance floodplain on FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps and has flood depth grids from the 20 percent to the 0.2 percent annual chance floodplains; residents can use the county's floodplain search tool or contact its Stormwater Management Division. If your home is in or near a mapped floodplain, an inspection after heavy rain is a reasonable precaution.

County offices, permits and renters

With no city government, Vinings relies on Cobb County.

Cobb County Code Enforcement runs a Housing Complaints line for property maintenance violations, including tenant reports, and complaints can also be filed online. Renters should give landlords written notice first; O.C.G.A. 44-7-13 requires landlords to keep premises in repair. This is general information, not legal advice. Cobb & Douglas Public Health says it has no authority to address mold in private homes or rentals.
