Authority to check
City of Holly Springs Community Development; verify Cherokee County jurisdiction.
The City publishes a tree-removal permit application that asks for trees 8 inches or larger in caliper and for specimen-tree details. The full ordinance thresholds and exemptions could not be verified in the reviewed municipal text.
Boundary check: Verify whether the property is inside the City of Holly Springs or in unincorporated Cherokee County.
Special circumstances to confirm
- Submit electronically through the City's Cloudpermit process or use the City application PDF. Confirm the current threshold and any emergency, dead-tree or hazard exception directly with Community Development.
- Development, buffers, specimen trees and nonresidential property may be regulated differently.
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 Near Fence — Roswell, GA
This maple was growing over the neighbor's fence and creating a concern for the neighboring property. It was a very tight spot, with the fence on one side and other trees all around. Our climber pieced it down branch by branch with the work planned around the fence.
