Why Kinnelon
What we see on the ground
Officially, the town is the Borough of Kinnelon.
Kinnelon requires a permit to remove any tree 6 inches or more in diameter at breast height (measured 4.5 feet up).
Fees: a $50 application fee, plus $10 per living tree and a $5 permit issuance fee. Up to two dead, diseased or hazardous trees can have fees waived with prior notice.
The Borough Forester reviews applications and must issue or deny a permit within 10 business days. The permit must be posted at the site during removal.
Removed living trees generally need one-to-one replacement with an approved species, planted within 12 months, with a two-year growth guarantee. Violations run $100 to $1,000 per tree.
