Why Chatham
What we see on the ground
Officially, the town is the Township of Chatham.
In the Township of Chatham, nobody may take a tree off a lot without a Tree Removal Permit first. That goes for lots with a house on them, empty lots and lots that could be divided.
If a tree is reasonably believed to be an immediate danger to people or property, it can come down right away. The permit is then applied for as soon as practical afterward.
Local rules change. Confirm the current details with the township before work starts.
