City Of Washington Releases Trimming Trees Guidelines

Last updated on Thursday, March 19, 2015

(WASHINGTON) - With spring and summer approaching, the City of Washington Street Department wants to make the public aware that when using a contractor for trimming and or cutting of trees there are proper guidelines to follow.

These are listed under Ordinance No. 98.05 of the Washington Code of Ordinance. If hiring a contractor, the contractor must obtain a permit from the proper department of the city administration before job initiation.

All cleanup and removal of limbs and debris from the site must be done by the contractor not by the city.

If the contractor does not clean up and remove debris, the landowner is responsible.
