Do I Need A Permit To Cut Down A Tree On My Property?

8/21/2018

Removing a tree is typically a simple process. Tree removal experts are hired and scheduled to get rid of the tree, working without any obstacles or hassles from state or local officials. Though, there are regulations and rules in some cities and states requiring permits before trees are cut down. “Do I need a permit to cut down a tree on my property?” You probably will either per city ordinances or for preservation reasons.

With little exceptions, most cities require that you get a permit to remove a tree on your property. You have to apply for the permit and pay a fee to determine whether you can eliminate the tree.

The rules differ from city to city, so you’ll have to check where you live to see if a permit is needed. In some places, specific types of trees can be cut down without a permit, along with smaller trees under a certain size. Additionally, the guidelines may differ depending on how far the tree is from your property circumference. Typically, dead trees can be cut without needing a permit.

Really, Do I Need A Permit To Cut Down a Tree on My Property?
Most counties and cities will provide you with someone at your request to help determine what can be removed and what type of tree to replace it. You, however, are responsible for the work. If you are hiring a tree contractor to help you, remember to make sure they’re licensed and insured.

If you choose that all this isn’t worth it and just cut it, you can be fined and charged a fee. Several cities have hotlines for people to turn in offending neighbors. In our experience as professionals of tree removal service, people can get quite angry when trees are removed wrongly. Be sure to obey the rules!

Knowing Syracuse tree removal costs is suggested before beginning your project is highly recommended. Even though looking at national tree removal costs can give you a general idea, such numbers frequently don’t take account of items which may affect the final price like material costs, local labor rates, and any local permits required by the city of Syracuse.

Using Syracuse tree contractors save you the effort of attempting a DIY tree removal job yourself.​
