A free address-based checker that estimates whether tree work needs a permit across metro Atlanta jurisdictions.
- For
- Metro Atlanta homeowners planning tree work
- Worth noticing
- The coverage spans 12 named jurisdictions; Atlanta’s listed removal threshold is 6 inches for most trees and 12 inches for pines.
Field notes
The checker offers an address lookup plus a city-selection fallback, then says it identifies the relevant city or county and returns applicable permit guidance, next steps, and an office to contact. Its listed coverage includes 12 metro jurisdictions; the FAQ distinguishes Atlanta’s 6-inch threshold for most removals from a 12-inch threshold for pines, and notes that already-fallen trees do not need a removal permit. The site describes results as likely rather than definitive.
