Do You Need a Permit to Remove a Tree in Maryland?

Tree removal permits in MD vary by town. Here's how to find out if you need one — and how we make it easy.

One of the first questions homeowners ask before a removal is whether they need a permit. In Maryland, the answer is: it depends on your municipality. Here's what to know.

Rules Vary by Town

There's no single statewide rule. Many towns require permits for removing trees above a certain trunk diameter, trees on certain parts of a property, or a certain number of trees per year. Others have few restrictions.

Protected and Replacement Rules

Some municipalities have tree-protection ordinances that may require you to replace a removed tree or pay into a fund. Wetlands and buffer zones often carry extra rules.

How to Check

Your town's website or zoning office can tell you the current requirements. But you don't have to navigate it alone.
