If you do not see your tree company on this list, please make them aware of our new registration policy and direct them to this page. We have changed and updated our tree removal permit application to reflect this.

Please review the full Chapter 227 on Maplewood Township Trees.

Trees with a diameter of less than 12 inches do not require a removal permit.

For the removal of trees on private residential property:
A tree removal application must be submitted to the township to facilitate inspection, and obtain a permit. Please see the attachment below for the tree removal permit application.
