1. 1

   When Gwinnett homeowners need permission

   How to tell if your tree is in a buffer or save area

   Your subdivision's recorded plat shows zoning buffers, stream buffers, open space and tree save areas. Many Gwinnett subdivisions built since the 1990s have them along their back lot lines, exactly where large trees tend to be. If the plat isn't in your closing documents, Gwinnett's planning department and the county's GIS can help. HOA covenants often add their own approval process on top.
