TEMPORARY FEE WAIVER! For a limited time, fees for Tree Felling Permits will be waived to remove hazard trees created by the January 2024 ice storm. These will also have an expedited tree felling permit process.
We understand there may be a lot of questions about whether a permit is needed to cut down trees damaged by the ice storm. The answer is: it depends. Please check out this fact sheet about the City of Springfield’s tree removal permits.
If you still have questions, we’re here to help!
