Why East Hanover
What we see on the ground
Officially, the town is the Township of East Hanover.
East Hanover requires a permit for any tree 6 inches or more in diameter at breast height; smaller trees are exempt.
A single $25 review fee applies — no extra fee if the tree removal application is submitted as part of a site plan or subdivision application.
Dead, diseased or hazardous trees, trees in building footprints/driveways/decks/pools/patios, utility maintenance, and invasive species removal are exempt.
Replacement is tiered by diameter and differs for subdivisions/site plans versus individual residential lots (generally lighter for residential lots), and if on-site planting isn't possible, applicants deposit $200 per required tree into the East Hanover Tree Fund. The Township Engineer must review within 15 business days or approval is automatic, and applicants must give written notice at least 4 business days before removal.
Local rules change. Confirm the current details with the township before work starts.
