Rhinebeck, NY’s Tree Removal Laws
Rhinebeck makes it easy to track down relevant local laws pertaining to tree removal.
“Only trees within the Right of Way (in the median, or—if in the yard—within 30 feet from the center of the road) require permission from the Village to be pruned or removed. These trees are considered part of the Village’s greater good because they impact the Village’s wellbeing at large by providing shade, cooling, supporting biodiversity and natural beauty. However, Village law states that pruning or removal is the homeowner’s financial responsibility.”
The tree removal request form, to be filed with the Village Clerk, can be found here.
