Colorado is home to many rural areas where you can easily find Christmas pine trees along with other native trees like blue spruces and Douglas firs. When you have a tree in your yard that you want to get rid of or cut down, you need to find out if you need a permit. Though not all jobs require a permit, some do. Roots Up Tree Company can help you find out if you need a permit before cutting down a single tree around your Lafayette home.
When You Need a Permit
You must have a tree removal permit if you want to get rid of trees that are on shared property lines. One example might be a tree in your neighbor’s yard that has branches hanging over your yard. You cannot remove those trees without the permission of the owner. If you have trees in public spaces that are growing into your yard, you will usually need a permit.
Many Colorado cities will not allow you to remove trees that are in the public right of way, even if you have a permit. There are also regulations that require you have a permit to cut down a Christmas tree on Bureau of Land Management property or if you plan to remove multiple trees from a large rural area.
You Usually Do Not Need a Permit
In most cases, you do not need a permit to cut down cottonwood and other native trees growing on your land. Lafayette and other cities hold property owners responsible for the trees growing on their private lands.
