Pawling, NY’s Tree Removal Laws
For the Town of Pawling, it seems that local regulations focus on timber harvesting. If a landowner is cutting down trees for non-commercial use, under 25 cords, no permit is required. If you’re clearing a homesite that exceeds half an acre, or cutting more than 25 cords of wood, than you probably need a permit.
There is a stipulation in the town codes that the town has the right to remove dead or diseased trees on private property if the tree constitutes a “hazard to life and property or harbors insects or disease which constitute a potential threat to other trees within the town.” They will come onto your property and do it with 60 days notice, and then charge you for it.
