This paper aims to identify the hilltop permanent preservation areas and marginal bands of Monte Azul/MG watercourses the based on #12.651/12 (BRASIL, 2012) Federal Law. This city choice was made based upon the delimitation inexistence of such areas by the municipal government. The methodology used to conduct the identification of hilltop PPA was based on the paper developed by Cortizo (2007) identifying the highest depression quota, characterized by the location of the base of the hill; the preservation areas in watercourses were identified through the creation of a 30 meters water resources buffer made available by the Ecological Zoning of the State of Minas Gerais (ZEE, 2013). The results of the delineation of permanent preservation areas on hilltops and in watercourses bands in the city of Monte Azul/MG corresponds to an area of 73,87 km², being the PPA along the watercourses responsible for 6,92% and the hilltop permanent preservation areas with 0,51% of the whole city area.
