Can I cut down a tree in my yard?
Does the city of Smyrna have rules about trees?
Answer
Tree removals and plantings are governed by the City of Smyrna's tree ordinance. The "Technical Standards and Best Management Practices" for the city's Tree Ordinance may be found here. City ordinances may be found here.
The tree ordinance covers rules for land developers as well as homeowners. In some cases, you might need to seek a permit from Smyrna's Community Development office to remove a tree.
