Emergency Tree Removal Atlanta, GA

What are the tree laws in Atlanta, Georgia?

Atlanta, Georgia has a rigorous Tree Protection Ordinance in place to help protect the city's tree canopy. Even on private property, removing a tree without a permit is usually illegal. Trees with a trunk diameter of 6 inches or more (measured at chest height) are protected and must be approved by the city's Arborist Division before being removed. The law also applies to dead or hazardous trees, albeit emergency permits can be issued more quickly. Cutting down a tree without permission may result in fines, penalties, or the need to replace the tree.

If you're worried about compliance, Escamilla Tree Service's Emergency Tree Removal Atlanta, GA services will help you navigate permits and assure safe, legal removal while also protecting your property and avoiding costly infractions.

Which trees are not permitted to be cut in Atlanta?

Certain trees in Atlanta are protected under the city's Tree Protection Ordinance, which states that they cannot be removed without specific permission. Typically, hardwood trees with a diameter of 6 inches or more are protected, as are specimen or historical trees. Because of their environmental importance, species such as oak, hickory, and maple are frequently subject to harsher regulations. Even dead or hazardous trees may require city consent before removal. Cutting down these trees without a permit may result in fines or forced replacement.
