Permit Information:

Residential property owners in Augusta, GA, are generally exempt from obtaining a tree removal permit if:

  • The property is less than 1 acre in size.

  • The trees are not designated as Landmark Trees. Landmark Trees are protected due to their historical significance or unique characteristics and require approval from the Augusta Tree Commission for removal.

Augusta Regulations for Tree Removal

  • Removal of up to 5 trees per calendar year on private residential properties under 1 acre does not require a permit.
  • Landmark Trees are protected and cannot be removed without approval from the Augusta Tree Commission.
  • Tree care companies must have a current business license and either employ an ISA Certified Arborist or have personnel who have passed the city’s tree care qualification test.
  • Tree topping is prohibited on public property unless the tree has been severely damaged by storms or similar incidents.
  • A Tree Disturbance Permit is mandatory for any tree work on public land and is issued only to entities employing a Certified Arborist.

Typical Tree Removal Process:

Homeowners should first determine if their property is under 1 acre and if the tree is not a Landmark Tree. If these conditions are met and fewer than 5 trees have been removed in the current calendar year, no permit is required. For Landmark Trees or properties over 1 acre, homeowners must seek approval from the Augusta Tree Commission. It’s advisable to hire a licensed tree care company with certified arborists to ensure compliance with local regulations.
