Why Livingston
What we see on the ground
On a developed lot, a Livingston tree removal permit costs $150, plus a $500 deposit held to make sure replacement trees get planted.
You can remove up to 3 trees per property without a permit, but only 1 of them can come from the front yard.
Some trees never need a permit: trees within 5 feet of a home or other building, dead, diseased or dangerous trees, and trees in a utility right-of-way that a utility company maintains.
If a tree is within 5 feet of the property line, you need your neighbor's written consent before it comes down.
Local rules change. Confirm the current details with the township before work starts.
