The Cobb County Tree Removal Permit Process
The following is an excerpt from toddsmariettatreeservices.com/removal-permit-ordinance/cobb-county-ga/
The Cobb County Community Development Agency has and enforces its tree protection ordinance. Land disturbance activities such as residential subdivisions, commercial development, and fill/site grading (other than “minor landscaping”) require a land use site-plan review.
The Community Development Agency will then evaluate the scope of a project, and advise whether a land disturbance permit is required.
*Some cases may not require a permit, but we suggest contacting the Cobb Development Agency (770) 528-2147 when unsure, or to ensure you are acting lawfully.
Site Plan Review for Your Permit – Permits are issued once site-plans have been submitted, reviewed, and approved by Cobb County.
