Landscaping contractors operating in Decatur, Georgia, must navigate a mix of municipal business regulations and state-level environmental certifications. While general lawn maintenance does not require a specialized trade license, all businesses must maintain an active Occupational Tax Certificate with the City of Decatur and comply with local zoning and tree protection ordinances.
Contractors performing specialized work such as irrigation installation or pesticide application face additional regulatory oversight. It is critical to verify specific project requirements with the Decatur Planning and Development Department before starting any work that involves structural changes, significant grading, or tree removal to ensure compliance with the city's Unified Development Ordinance.
