Paulding County imposes no tree-replacement duty on homeowners who remove yard trees. Replacement-style planting appears only in development: platted subdivisions must plant yard trees at a set caliper, and required buffers must be kept vegetated.
There is no mitigation or replacement requirement when a Paulding County homeowner removes a tree, because the county has no tree-preservation ordinance and no tree fund. The only planting obligations arise at development. The zoning code requires platted subdivisions to install yard trees meeting a minimum caliper, and required buffers between dissimilar uses and along county roads must stay vegetated, with planted buffers used where natural stands are thin. These are landscaping standards administered by Planning & Zoning at plan review, not a per-tree replacement ratio or fee-in-lieu like some metro counties use. Homeowner replanting is entirely voluntary.
A homeowner faces no penalty for not replacing a removed tree. A development that fails to plant required subdivision trees or maintain required buffers violates the zoning code and can hold up plat or plan approval through Planning & Zoning.
