Permitting
Tree Permits Made Simple For Atlanta Homeowners
Navigating city tree regulations without the headache
City tree permit processes can feel like trying to navigate an overgrown hedge maze. Each city is unique and requires lots of patience. The good news? We’ve been untangling this bureaucratic web since 1968, so we know which forms go where and which city departments actually answer their phones.
Getting permits isn’t just about avoiding angry letters from code enforcement—it’s about making sure your project stays on track and within your budget. We’ll handle the paperwork circus so you don’t have to spend your Saturday morning in a government office trying to explain why you need to remove a dead tree.
After all, what is paperwork but former trees demanding revenge on their living relatives?

The permit paperwork trail, organized for your convenience
Every Metro Atlanta city seems to have put their tree regulations through a blender and come up with completely different results. Each city’s website theoretically has all the forms you need, assuming you can find them buried somewhere—we’ve just done the hard work of finding the most useful of those links for you.
