"¿Se necesita permiso para talar un árbol en tu propia parcela?"

Let's not go crazy. I cut down several trees on my own plot, discussing the matter only with my wife, because she is the "defender". These were not natural monuments or special specimens. Someone just planted too many trees once. An excess of law leads to lawlessness. Well, unless someone has "friendly" neighbors with an infrared camera - then one must assess the risk wisely.

Of course no permission is needed.

Certainly, no permission is required to cut down a fruit tree. As for other trees, a few years ago there was a limit on the diameter or circumference of the trunk - above a certain value, notification (not permission) in the "municipality" was required to cut them down. I don't know what the situation is today.

It was certainly interesting that for a certain number of years (3 or 5) I couldn't carry out business activities in that area. I didn't need to, but it was probably some sort of safeguard against someone cutting down everything on a private plot and then selling it to a developer, for example.

Another interesting thing concerned old/dangerous trees. When there was an accident in the city where a branch of an old tree fell on someone, officials would go to the site and inform the plot owners that the particular tree that grows by the plot boundary and public road. It was spring, so they assumed that all leafless trees were dead. They even treated acacias like this, even though they have leaves later than other trees. So their competence was not very high.

Do you need permission to cut down a tree on your own property?

Yes, you typically need permission to cut down a tree on your own property. This is because trees provide many benefits to the environment and surrounding community, such as providing shade, improving air quality, and preventing soil erosion. Local and state regulations may require you to obtain a permit before removing a tree, especially if it is large or protected under certain laws.

Even if a tree on your property is old or poses a potential threat, you should always check with your local authorities before cutting it down. There may be alternative solutions to mitigate the risk, such as pruning or cabling the tree.

 Cutting down a tree without permission or violating regulations can result in fines, legal action, or damage to the environment and wildlife. So, it's best to do your research and follow the proper procedures before taking any action.

It depends on the size of the trunk, when the circumference of the tree trunk measured at a height of 5cm exceeds 80cm, it should be reported to the office. Of course, it also depends on the type of tree, yes, this applies to willows, poplars, and maples. For other trees, there are different criteria.

Tak jest potrzebne

It is necessary

Sure in Poland we can cut trees for our own but only near house. In forest is forbidden

You may need to talk to your wife, but sometimes it's better to do it with the neighbor's wife because she might not be satisfied and she will remember that tree for the rest of her life, but seriously, we're getting a little hysterical about these trees and regulations. This is how it is in the country now, you need permission for everything, sigh…….

I talk to my wife first the we cut it down if needed nothing more.
