Coweta County's Tree Preservation Ordinance governs development and non-residential sites, not homeowner yard trees. A resident on an established single-family lot generally needs no county permit to trim or remove trees.
Coweta County's Tree Preservation Ordinance protects canopy on development and land-disturbance sites, administered through the Zoning and Development Ordinance by the County Arborist/Landscape Architect. It reaches non-residential projects and new development, not a homeowner cutting a tree in their own yard. A single-family resident on an established lot generally needs no county permit to trim or remove trees. Trees in the public right-of-way are county-controlled and off limits to residents. You may trim a neighbor's branches that overhang your property back to the boundary line, but you cannot enter their land or take action that kills the tree. Newnan and Senoia may add their own city tree rules.
On regulated development sites, unauthorized removal brings replacement planting and fines. Homeowner yard trees carry no county permit or penalty. Damaging a right-of-way tree requires county approval and restitution.
