distinguishing private and public trees
One of the questions we get asked the most regarding tree removal is “How do I know if my tree is public or private?”
- A street tree is any tree planted along sidewalks or public spaces and maintained by the city.
- A private tree is one on your property and your responsibility, unless it’s near wetlands, parks, or coastlines where special rules may apply.
- As per the New York Parks Department, homeowners must know if a tree is city-owned or private by checking your title survey.

Should I remove a tree near my house?
Certain serious factors taken into consideration when deciding whether to remove a tree near your house include reasons such as the health of the tree, safety concerns, and damages related to roots or falling branches to your property.

Before beginning removal, property owners should check their title survey to confirm property lines. Unauthorized removal of city-managed or protected trees can result in fines. The permit application is available online or by mail. We can also help you with any permit guidance or to understand whether a permit is needed.
Do I need a permit to prune my trees in Brooklyn?
In most cases, permits are not required for pruning of trees on privately owned property. However, there are important exceptions.

At GreenLeaf Tree Care, we’re well-versed in local regulations and we will help navigate the permitting process.
