Yes No If the registrant grew hemp in the County in the previous year, proof of testing from
the prior year showing THC level for all hemp varietals planted in each
registered area
fell within the 0.3% THC content or below threshold.
Signage and Security Requirements
Yes No Is the cultivation site or all buildings registered for cultivation fenced
along boundaries where the site or buildings are adjacent to public access
roads, and along boundaries with adjacent properties?
Elbert C
ounty requires the fence establishes a clear boundary for the site and creates a “deterrent
effect” to discourage trespassing onto the property. A fence averaging at least 48 inches above
ground level, comprised of three barbed wire strands with no more than 15 inch spacing, chain
link, or three-rail wood, metal, or vinyl fence are typical examples deemed to have both boundary
and deterrent effects.
Yes No Does the cultivation site or all buildings registered for cultivation have clear
signage indicating the presence of industrial hemp at the property entrance,
along all public access roads, and along boundaries with adjacent
properties?
Elbert County requires signage be placed no more than 150 feet apart along a single boundary,
at the center point of a single boundary and at all corners of the property, at any access point to
the property from a public road, and/or at all entrances to fixed structures used for indoor
cultivation. The signage should be readable from at least 25 feet away.
Initials _____ I acknowledge that failure to comply with any of the above requirements may result
in denial of a permit for the subsequent registration year and/or fines to be assessed
in the current year.
