Who is responsible to take a tree down that is in the Township right-of-way?

The Township is not responsible for trees to be taken down even if they are in the Township’s right-of-way. It is the owners responsibility.

If a tree has fallen into the Township street, then the Township will remove it out of the street area only. If the tree is in the Township right-of-way and it is deemed to be dead, we will contact the property owner to get a price to have it removed. We will then get another price, and notify the owner of the price.
