Why Rockaway Township
What we see on the ground
Officially, the town is the Township of Rockaway.
Rockaway Township regulates trees over 5 inches in diameter under Chapter 235 of its code.
Removal is permitted mainly when a tree would cause hardship or endanger people or a neighboring property, when it's within 15 feet of a planned building, driveway or recreation area, or when the Borough Engineer determines site grading has made the tree unsafe.
The Borough Engineer verifies the tree's species and condition, and certifies the removal plan, before the Building Inspector issues a permit.
No material, machinery or soil can be placed within 6 feet of a tree's trunk without prior approval, and decisions can be appealed to the Township Council within 10 days.
Local rules change. Confirm the current details with the township before work starts.
