Is it Illegal to Cut Down an Endangered Tree?
If you are planning to cut down an endangered tree, you need to check the city’s tree ordinance. Generally, it’s illegal to do so without permission. In addition, if you do so and destroy it, you can be fined three times the value of the tree.
Understanding the State’s Laws
There are many reasons why people want to cut down a tree. Sometimes it’s for economic development, for maintaining trails or to keep it from causing public harm. But before you do, you’ll need to know the city’s tree ordinance and your own state’s laws.
If you are attempting to trim a tree that is on a road, you’ll need a permit. Most states have rules on trimming trees. Some city ordinances even allow officials to remove a tree if it’s threatening public safety.
If you are trying to cut down a tree on federal land, you’ll need to be prepared for a heavy fine. You might even be put in jail for a few months. Even if you are on private property, you could be liable for a civil charge.
Jurisdiction
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may be allowed to cut down a tree on private property. However, you should make sure that you aren’t trespassing onto an adjoining property. And you should always get permission from the owner.
Hire an Arborist
If you have to remove a tree, you should seek the advice of an arborist. They will be able to tell you whether it’s dangerous or if it’s a healthy tree.
