Paulding County issues no tree-removal permit. Its official code-enforcement guide lists none and the county has no tree-preservation ordinance. Trees are regulated only through zoning buffers and subdivision landscaping when land is developed.
There is no tree-removal permit in Paulding County. The county's own code-enforcement reference table, which lists every common violation and the office that handles it, includes no tree permit and no tree-protection ordinance, unlike some neighboring metro counties with formal tree codes. Homeowners may remove trees on their own lots without county sign-off. The only tree-related requirements attach to development: the zoning code mandates landscaped or natural buffers between dissimilar uses and along county roads, and platted subdivisions must plant yard trees. Land-disturbing clearing is reviewed for buffers and soil erosion by Planning & Zoning and the Development Division. HOA covenants can add private approval.
None from the county for removing your own trees. During development, disturbing a required buffer or clearing without erosion control violates the zoning and development regulations and can hold up the land-disturbance permit.
