TREE TRIMMING:

By Contractor – Contractors who are hired to cut down or trim a tree must be registered with the Building Department. They must also remove the tree in its entirety. However, no permits are required.

By Homeowner- If a homeowner is cutting down a tree they are required to bring in the cover page of their insurance policy to the Building Department prior to starting the work. Again, permits are not required.
