Senior Tree Removal Program

How it works

DeKalb County’s Senior Tree Removal Program provides no-cost assistance to eligible senior homeowners for the safe removal of hazardous trees that pose risks to residents and their property. The county says the program helps protect both homes and neighborhoods.

What the service covers

The official program page describes the benefit as removal of hazardous trees. It does not list a dollar cap or say whether stump grinding, hauling, or cleanup are included.

How to apply

The county says applicants must first obtain a Pre-Application Card by calling 404-371-2693. The completed card can then be returned by mail or in person to the DeKalb Community Development Department, 178 Sams Street, Suite A-3500, Decatur, GA 30030.

Timing

The page does not state an opening date, closing date, or whether funding is first-come, first-served. It does say assistance is subject to eligibility and available funding.
