Kent County does not have a general county-wide tree-trimming ordinance covering private property — that is set by individual township and city codes. However, the Kent County Road Commission (KCRC) has direct jurisdiction over trees within county road rights-of-way under MCL 247.241, and its Tree Cutting Policy requires a permit before any property owner trims, removes, or otherwise works on vegetation in the easement or statutory right-of-way of a county road. The same permit umbrella covers all work in the county ROW, not just tree work.
