Who May Appeal?

Trees on Public Property:
Any property owner, business owner, or resident of the City of Atlanta, and/or any civic association in the NPU in which the tree or trees at issue are located may appeal.

How Do I File an Appeal?

Valid appeals must provide evidence, based on the City of Atlanta’s Tree Ordinance , that a city administrative official misinterpreted or misapplied the ordinance or facts material to the decision of the administrative official that the appellant believes were misinterpreted or misunderstood.
