Do you need a permit to remove a tree here?

It depends on whether you're inside Cumming city limits.

Unincorporated Forsyth County (most Cumming addresses): "Tree removal by homeowners on their property outside of the required zoning buffer is exempt from the requirements of the Tree Ordinance" (Forsyth County).

Trees, storms and power lines in this area

Hilly, wooded lots near Sawnee Mountain and the lake mean trees on slopes above houses. Those get climbed and lowered in pieces, never dropped.

Watch your pines. Georgia logged more than 1,600 southern pine beetle spots in 2024, up from 273 the year before (UGA Bugwood Center). Needles browning from the top down and small lumps of sap on the bark are the signs. Beetle-killed pines dry out and get brittle fast, so they should come down soon.

Sawnee EMC is headquartered in Cumming and serves most of the area (Sawnee EMC). Some homes are on Georgia Power.

Lines that run pole to pole belong to the power company. Don't trim near them yourself and don't let anyone else. Call the number on your power bill first. Once the line is safe, we handle the rest of the tree.
