Certificate and Permit tree felling City of LongueuilWhen you want to cut down a tree, you should ask yourself if you need to obtain a permit. Also, remember that pruning can save you from having to cut down a tree.
The first thing you need to know is the characteristics that make a plant considered a tree on a given territory by regulation. In Longueuil, as far as conifers are concerned, the specimen must be more than 2 metres high. In the case of a deciduous tree, it is its diameter at 30 centimetres from the ground that counts: it must be larger than 5 centimetres. If your plant does not meet these criteria, it is not a tree from the point of view of the by-law, so it is not normally affected by an application for a cutting permit. There is a separate by-law for the boroughs of Vieux-Longueuil, Saint-Hubert and Greenfield Park. It is strongly recommended that you consult the one that corresponds to your case. You will find additional information on what is considered to be slaughter. This page only provides you with summary information. |
