Johns Creek Eased Its Tree Removal Rules in 2025
In July 2025, the Johns Creek City Council amended its tree preservation ordinance to make removal simpler for homeowners. On a developed single-family residential lot, you can now generally remove a tree without a removal permit, as long as it is not in a protected zone and does not qualify as a specimen tree.
That is a real change from how things worked before, and it is worth understanding before you assume you are stuck in a permit process. We keep up with the current rules so we can tell you plainly where your specific tree stands.
Do You Need a Tree Removal Permit in Johns Creek?
Often no, but sometimes yes. On a developed single-family lot, most tree removals no longer need a permit, but permission is still required when the tree sits in a protected area or qualifies as a specimen tree under the city’s ordinance.

Protected areas include stream buffers, zoning buffers, required landscape strips, and the Chattahoochee River Corridor that runs along the city’s edge. Specimen trees and trees in those buffers can require city approval, and in some cases an arborist report or replacement planting. We check which category your tree falls into and handle the city paperwork through the Customer Self-Service portal when your project needs it.
Our Services
We keep the full details of each service in one place so they stay accurate. Here is a quick overview of what we provide for local properties, with links to learn more.
Tree Removal
Many properties here sit on wooded lots where trees stand close to homes, fences, and decks, so we plan every removal around what is nearby and section large trees down in controlled pieces when needed. Full details are on our removal page.
Tree Trimming and Pruning
Pruning keeps mature trees strong through Georgia’s storm seasons by removing deadwood and correcting weak structure. See how we approach trimming and pruning on our main service page.

When a tree comes down or a limb gives way, we stay available around the clock for urgent situations. Learn how we respond on our emergency page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still Have Questions?
Contact PAC-TREE to discuss your property, tree-service needs, or an upcoming removal or pruning project.
Often no. Since a July 2025 change to the city ordinance, removing a tree from a developed single-family residential lot generally does not require a permit, provided it is not in a protected zone and is not a specimen tree. We confirm which category your tree falls into before any work.
Protected zones include stream buffers, zoning buffers, required landscape strips, and the Chattahoochee River Corridor along the city’s edge. Trees in these areas, and trees classified as specimen trees, can still require city approval, so we check your specific situation.
Cost depends on the tree’s size, condition, and how close it sits to structures or power lines, which is why we provide an estimate after seeing the property in person. You get a clear scope before any work starts.
