Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Spartanburg? +
The city's tree protection rules (Zoning Ordinance Section 505) do not apply to a parcel used for a single-family home or duplex. On commercial, institutional, industrial, business and multi-family property, healthy trees 12 inches D.B.H. or more cannot be removed without approval from the city's Building Official or designee. Removed trees that the city approves must usually be replaced. The ordinance PDF we read may not be the newest version, so confirm with the city. See our Spartanburg tree permit page for sources. Short explanation, not legal advice.

How much does tree removal cost? +
It depends on the tree size, how close it is to the house or lines, access for equipment, cleanup and stump work. We do not publish prices for tree work. Get two or three written quotes so you can compare.
