Permits and Local Rules for Tree Removal in Atlanta
Atlanta is not a cut-anything market. Atlanta requires a city permit to remove any private-property tree of 6 inches or greater diameter at breast height (12 inches for pines), and even dead or hazardous trees on private land need a permit before coming down. [S2] What that means in practice: confirm whether your trunk falls under the local threshold before a crew is booked, because the fine lands on the owner, not the crew. The full permit picture, with the ordinance language we verified, is on our Atlanta tree service page.
