City of Atlanta Arborist Division tree removal permit requirement guidelines and municipal ordinance compliance documentation

Who Needs Municipal Permit Support?

  • Homeowners & HOAs: Ensure full compliance before removing trees on private property or common grounds to avoid severe municipal fines.

  • Property Managers & Landlords: Document structural hazards to protect tenants while fulfilling city arborist requirements.

  • Real Estate & Development Sites: Clear hazardous or dead trees prior to sale or construction while adhering to local canopy replacement quotas.

Our Permit Assistance Process

  • On-Site Health & Hazard Assessment:

  • A certified arborist inspects the tree to verify its condition—documenting structural decay, severe lean, disease, or deadwood that justifies removal under local code.

  • Certified Arborist Reporting & Documentation:

  • We generate official arborist letters, hazard assessment forms, and photographic evidence detailing why the tree poses a safety risk or meets ordinance criteria for removal.

  • Permit Filing & City Coordination:

  • We help assemble and submit the required documentation directly to city or county arborists, streamlining approval and preventing costly permit rejections.
