Tree permits in Point Pleasant

Point Pleasant Borough requires a Tree Removal Application before removing any street tree, or a non-street tree of 6 inches DBH or more, and work can't start until the borough approves it. The ordinance lists a $150 application fee and generally requires replacement trees, with more replacements for larger trees. Hazard trees can be exempt from the fee and replacement with proper documentation, such as a report from a NJ Licensed Tree Expert (Removal of Trees ordinance). Confirm details with Borough Hall.

Local notes

Older lots in town are often tight, with little room for equipment, so ask your tree company how it will get the wood out and whether a crane or bucket truck is needed. That's one of the biggest drivers of price.

Before you hire

New Jersey requires tree care businesses to be licensed through the NJ Board of Tree Experts. Ask for the company's Licensed Tree Care Operator number and certificate of insurance. For stump grinding, the free 811 utility markout is required before digging (NJ One Call).

Storm damage or a tree on a wire?

If there is immediate danger, call 911. Stay away from downed lines and report them to your electric utility. Then see what to do after a storm and what insurance usually covers.
