How this works: Chattanooga Tree Quotes is a free referral service, not a tree company. We pass your request to independent local tree pros, who may pay us for the referral. They quote, schedule and do the work; check their insurance before you hire. More about us.
What can we help with?
How much does tree removal cost around Chattanooga?
No public survey of Chattanooga-only prices exists, so here are the national figures. Angi puts the 2026 average at $750, with most homeowners paying $200 to $2,000. HomeGuide puts it at $850, usually $400 to $1,200. Big trees near houses or power lines cost more, and same-day storm work often costs 2 to 3 times the normal rate. See the full cost guide.
Do I need a permit to cut down a tree in Chattanooga?
Usually not for a tree on your own lot. The City says its 2025 tree ordinance "does not prohibit homeowners from removing trees on private property." Trees in the public right-of-way are different: they need a City Tree Ordinance Permit. Lookout Mountain requires tree companies to hold a Town permit. Details are on our permits, 811 and brush rules page.
Who handles trees touching power lines?
In EPB's service area, EPB trims trees that threaten the main (primary) lines, and it will remove a tree growing directly under its lines at no charge. The service line from the pole to your house is your responsibility, but EPB will lower it for free while your tree company works. Call EPB at 423-648-1372 before you book that job.
