The consequence of Removing a Tree

What Are the Consequences of Removing a Tree?

If you have a tree that is threatening your neighbor’s property, you may want to consider getting it removed. This can help protect you from injury and property damage. However, it is important to know what the consequences of removing a tree are.

Cutting a Tree

Depending on the state you live in, you might be on the hook for damages if you cut a tree down without permission. In the state of Connecticut, the Supreme Court has ruled that a person cutting a tree on another person’s property is a trespasser.

The state of Mississippi also has a statute on intentional tree damage. You might be liable for up to double the actual damages you caused if you damaged a tree intentionally.

Contacting the Insurance Company

Regardless of whether you are on the hook for damages, you should contact your insurance company. You can ask them to pay for the costs of removing a tree if it falls onto your house. Also, you can have your insurer reimburses you for any damage done to your neighbor’s property.

Removing a Dead Tree

You can remove a tree that is dead, or if it has a large limb. However, you should not try to do it yourself. Many homeowners have suffered injuries from attempting to remove a dangerous tree. A trained professional with the proper equipment can do the job safely.

Consult an Arborist

Some states require special permits for tree removal. In San Jose, for example, you must get a permit for trees that are two feet high or have a 56-inch trunk circumference. It is also recommended that you consult an arborist about the process.
