Trees are awesome – you can climb them, they provide critical habitat for hundreds of species of animals, they help keep our homes cool and comfortable, and they literally help hold the planet together by preventing soil erosion. For all these reasons, it’s important we protect our tree canopy and identify places and ways to strengthen it. In 2023, the City of Woodstock received a technical assistance grant from the Georgia Forestry Commission (GFC) to map, plan, and manage Woodstock’s urban forest. For several months, City staff has worked with GFC to map the existing city tree canopy and create strategies to maintain and enhance it as the city continues to grow and change. The data we’ve gained access to is amazing – the diagnostic check on what both our actual environment and code environment look like is even more invaluable.

The Community Development Department is responsible for managing the current and long-term growth of the city through the administration of the Land Development Ordinance and the Woodstock Comprehensive Plan. We provide a wide variety of services to the public - administering the public hearing process for land development, preserving residential neighborhoods, issuing business licenses, collecting business taxes, evaluating requests for tree removal, issuing PTV permits, and reviewing building and safety plans. Let’s go build something together.
