Woodstock GA Tree Preservation Ordinances & Permits
The City of Woodstock enforces Chapter 7 of its Development Code, governing tree canopy coverage, specimen tree preservation, and lot clearing. Unlike unincorporated Cherokee County where single-family homeowners enjoy broad exemptions, properties within Woodstock city boundaries must maintain minimum Tree Density Units (TDU) per acre.
Specimen Hardwood & Pine Protection Thresholds
- Overstory Hardwoods (Oak, Hickory, Poplar): Specimen status at ≥ 24 inches DBH.
- Softwoods (Pines, Cypress): Specimen status at ≥ 30 inches DBH.
- Understory Trees (Dogwood, Redbud): Specimen status at ≥ 8 inches DBH.
Removing specimen trees or clearing land without prior city arborist plan reviews can result in stop-work orders and recompense fines. Supreme Arbor works directly with Woodstock code officials to prepare certified arborist tree preservation plans on your behalf.
