Why Netcong
What we see on the ground
Officially, the town is the Borough of Netcong.
Netcong regulates street trees 2.5 inches or more in diameter and other trees 6 inches or more in diameter.
A $25 application fee applies, submitted to the Zoning Officer before removal; larger projects on lots of 5,000 square feet or more need a full tree survey.
One tree in the smaller size categories is exempt per lot within any two-year period, along with active tree farms, nurseries, orchards and garden centers, properties with an approved forest stewardship plan, and hazard trees.
Removed trees must generally be replaced in kind within 12 months, with a two-year survival bond, or the Borough offers a fee-based alternative instead of replanting.
Local rules change. Confirm the current details with the township before work starts.
