Tree Reforestation Requirements

Q: I need to know what type of trees (and size) are allowed for reforestation requirements in DeKalb County. It would also be nice to have the same info for other counties (Fulton, Forsyth, Cobb). I was told that the info is available at a website, but not having luck getting to it.
