Why Madison
What we see on the ground
Officially, the town is the Borough of Madison.
Madison's tree rules are run by the Borough's Shade Tree Management Board, set up in 1984.
You need a permit to remove any "significant tree" on private property. The Borough's tree official answers permit applications within 15 business days.
If a tree is not significant, you can take down one every 12 months without paying a permit fee, but you still file the application.
Local rules change. Confirm the current details with the township before work starts.
