Tree Removal Permit to remove tree from rehab property.

[Jordan Kimbell]

Hi All,

I am partnered on a rehab and my partner has put in an application to  get a tree that is very close to the property removed. I've called the city and they say residential properties don't require a permit to remove a tree. Any reason why a permit would be required? The city the property is in is Valdosta, GA. This is my first project, but my partner is very experienced. Just trying to get some insight before asking him why he opted to get a permit for residential property.

Thanks,

Jordan
