Tree Removal
Tree Removal on Private Property
Private property owners can have qualifying hazardous trees removed by submitting a Right of Entry form and enrolling in the Public debris removal program for no cost if they don't have insurance and for the cost of the deductible if they have insurance. See the process below:
Another option is enroll in the Private program where a property owner will contract out all the debris clean up, including hazardous trees, at their own expense.
