Can You Remove a Tree Without a Permit?

One of the most common questions we get is: Do I need a permit to remove a tree? The answer depends on several factors, including your location, the size of the tree, and whether it is in a protected area.

In Most Cases, No Permit is Required

For many private properties, tree removal does not require a permit—especially if the tree is diseased, dead, or posing a safety risk to your home or power lines. Homeowners generally have the right to manage the trees on their own land.

When a Permit Might Be Needed

However, some cities and counties have regulations protecting certain trees based on their species, size, or historical significance. If your tree falls under any of these categories or is in a conservation zone, you may need approval before removal. Some areas also have rules about removing multiple trees at once, even on private property.
