Authority to check
City of Woodstock Community Development.
A permit is required for a tree over 3 inches in caliper, including dead or dying trees. Up to five non-specimen trees may be removed from a residential lot in a calendar year with a permit at no fee.
Boundary check: Verify the property is inside the City of Woodstock and not in unincorporated Cherokee County.
Special circumstances to confirm
- Specimen trees require separate consideration based on size, species and condition.
- Ask Community Development how imminent hazards, storm damage, buffers, replacement and land disturbance affect the application.
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.
