Preparing for tree work in Roswell
Describe the tree’s position relative to your home, fences, and neighboring property. Ask the provider to explain both the proposed work and how debris and cleanup will be handled.
Do I need a tree removal permit in Roswell?
The City of Roswell says a permit is required to remove a tree larger than 3 inches in diameter, with other situations also requiring review. Its guidance also directs properties within 2,000 feet of the Chattahoochee River to contact Planning & Zoning before removing trees.
Confirm that your property is within the city and check the current requirements before authorizing work. Read the City of Roswell tree and permit guidance. A referral call or contractor estimate does not replace a permit.
When requesting a tree removal estimate, ask who will handle any required application and whether permit-related work is included in the written scope.
Check the property location
Confirm your property jurisdiction and check current municipal guidance before authorizing removal. A mailing ZIP alone does not determine permit requirements. Tree Care Match does not determine whether a permit is needed.
