Wow. All kidding aside, here if you own your yard, you own what is in it. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 08:28 16
- We have laws here for large or historic area trees but developers just pay the fine when they get caught. -- nm - Max Mar 9, 09:04
- Even Florida has strict rules on (certain) trees. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 9, 08:41 1
  - Here in GA it's primarily a county and city issue. In some unincorporated rural areas you probably don't need one. But suburban or urban, definitely -- nm - Strongbad Mar 9, 08:50
- sounds about right for Indiana -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 9, 08:40 1
  - That we have more than enough trees, here? Agreed. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:22
- In PA if it's a healthy tree over 6 inches in diameter you need a permit - decline Mar 9, 08:36 1
  - Now I’m wondering if the borough has a shade tree ordinance or something along those lines. -- (edited) - znufrii, promoted Mar 9, 08:55
- It's a very serious thing here - with renos on your house you need to put down a tree-deposit that you do not get back if you tree gets damaged - Andie Mar 9, 08:32 1
  - It's pretty common here too. Fines if they catch you without a permit. Recompense even if they give you permission. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 9, 08:35
- At the new house they planted evergreens at the corner on the front. Right at the garage. Pretty sure I have to get approval to rip them out. - sycor Mar 9, 08:31 4
  - it looked pretty when it was a foot tall... -- nm - decline Mar 9, 08:37 1
    - and if they won't let me relocate it, it will stay a foot tall. I will make sure of that. -- nm - sycor Mar 9, 08:42
  - People have a *frightening* lack of certain abilities, such as thinking long term. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 08:33 1
    - So, so, so true. -- nm - sycor Mar 9, 08:34
- and yet you live in the land of HOAs that tell people what colour they can paint their doors. :) -- nm* - Andie Mar 9, 08:30 1
  - heh, hence the "own your own yard" part! Plus, most of the HOAs are within the "Fee Take Line" which means The Army Core of Engineers oversee them. - Spawn Mar 9, 08:32
