Doraville's older neighborhoods sit under tall oaks and pines. Doraville also has one of the strictest tree rules around: even trimming bigger trees needs a city permit. We'll walk the yard with you and tell you which work needs one before we start.

Do you need a permit to remove a tree here?

Yes, for most trees. Doraville requires a permit to remove any tree 3 inches or more across that normally grows 15 feet or taller. Pruning the limbs of a tree 8 inches or more across also needs a permit (City of Doraville).

Trunk size is measured at breast height, 4.5 feet off the ground.
Fee: the city's 2026 fee schedule lists $25 per tree for removal and $25 per tree for pruning trees over 8 inches.
Emergencies: injured or fallen trees that are an immediate danger to people or property can come down before the permit is issued. Send the city notice with photos as soon as possible.
The application asks for a site plan showing the tree, its type and trunk size, photos, and a homeowner affidavit. Review can take up to 10 business days.
Replacement rules are in Chapter 5 of the city code. Ask the city whether you'll need to replant.
Removing a tree without a permit can bring charges. Questions go to Community Development at 770-451-8745 or permits@doravillega.us.

Trees, storms and power lines in this area

Doraville's trees and power lines share tight space along older streets. On August 4, 2026, a fallen tree knocked down power lines and caused a water main break along Shady Oak Drive (FOX 5 Atlanta). A big limb hanging over the street or your service line is worth a look before the next storm.

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.

Georgia Power serves Doraville. If a tree is on a line, call Georgia Power first and stay well away from it.
