Authority to check
City of Acworth Development Department / Planning & Zoning Division.
The tree ordinance applies to activities requiring a land-development or building permit. Existing single-family and duplex properties with an existing structure are exempt when the work does not expand the structure footprint; vacant properties are not covered by that exemption.
Boundary check: Acworth properties should be checked against municipal and county boundaries before relying on an exemption.
Special circumstances to confirm
- Dead, diseased, hazardous or insect-infested trees may be exempt when the condition is documented by a certified arborist or registered forester as the ordinance requires.
- Non-exempt tree-removal permit activity must use a properly licensed company meeting the ordinance's stated insurance minimums; ask the City to confirm the current documentation required.
Official sources and next steps
Use the governing authority’s current resources for the latest form, threshold, fee, buffer, emergency and replacement information. These links were checked on September 10, 2026; municipal pages can change after that date.

Maple Removal + Driveway Clearance Pruning — Acworth, GA
Two maples were crowding this driveway — one dropping branches and leaves on the cars, the other blocking the view. We removed the maple on the right side completely and pruned the left one up high to clear all branches hanging over the driveway. All debris carried out by hand and hauled away in our dump trailer.

Elm tree was growing into the front of the house, creating a route for squirrels and insects toward the roof and crowding the shingles, siding and gutters. We pruned for clearance with attention to the surrounding vegetation.
