TREE WORK THAT SAYS IT ALL

In most residential areas of Southwest Missouri, including Bolivar, Morrisville, Pleasant Hope, Stockton, Buffalo and Fair Play, a permit is generally not required for tree removal on private property. However, there are exceptions:

• Public Property or Right-of-Way: if the tree is located on public land or within a right-of-way, a permit is typically required. For example: the Missouri Department of Transportation(MODOT) mandates permits for any tree removal or trimming on their right-of-way. MODOT
• City-Specific Regulations: Some cities may have specific ordinances. For instance, in Stockton, the city code addresses nuisances related to vegetation, which could impact tree removal decisions. City of Stockton Chapter 220:Nuisances

Trees near public roads or utility lines often fall under additional regulations.

• MoDOT Right-of-Way: Any work, including tree removal or trimming, within MoDOT's right-of-way requires a permit.
• Utility Lines: For trees near utility lines, coordination with the utility company is essential to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
