Do you need to have a permit for cutting down a tree?

Answer 1

It depends upon where you are and what rules apply. For example, in a U.S. Wilderness Area, you need a license, even if you're a government employee. Also, if you're using it to harvest ice for human consumption, you may need a health handling permit.

In general, however, you may need no more license than you would for any other internal-combustion yard equipment.

Answer 2

It depends on where you are. Most states do not require a license, per se, but many wood products companies require that loggers be trained in safety, environmental and business aspects of logging, and that they maintain this training through some type of continuing education program. This certification is not a license, but a verification that the person who is doing the tree cutting has the training to do so.

If you are just having a tree or two cut out of your yard, then this isn't the case. The best protection you can have there is to make sure the person has the right insurance to cover any damage they might do when performing the job.

Answer 3

yes. but the only reason you can cut of the tree is if it is infected by a disease or it is dead and may fall down.
