Permit for tree removal, Pierrefonds CityCutting down a tree is not an act that is taken lightly when we think of how much they contribute to the quality of the human beings we are. Therefore, cities must legislate, especially concerning the felling of trees, to avoid abuses and ensure their protection. Montreal and its borough of Pierrefonds-Roxboro are also doing so, as are other municipalities.
This page is provided for information purposes only, to help you better understand the tree cutting process. However, it is imperative that you refer to the official versions of all by-laws or laws that apply to your case, including the one concerning zoning, as well as to the competent authorities to interpret them correctly. In the case of the felling of ash trees, you must request the specific form and the application is then free. Subsidies are also available, at the rate of $5 per 5 centimetres of tree diameter. Thus, for a diameter of 20 centimeters, you would be entitled to $100. A portion of the costs you incur will be covered, but in order to access the subsidy, you will have to replace the felled specimen, among other conditions. There are various options available. You can find them on the City of Montreal's website. |
