Please see below for tree removal and pruning application. The Village requires the applicant to seek consent from a neighbor to prune branches of a neighbor's tree that hang in the applicant's airspace. We ask that you notify your neighbors if you are considering replacing a hedge row on a rear or side property line, whether it does or does not meet permit requirements according to the Village Code. Often perimeter evergreens and perimeter shrubs’ ownership is disputed. Please consult your survey and with your neighbor to clarify ownership to avoid such disputes.
