Tree Removal Permits

Madera County does not publish a routine tree-removal permit ordinance for private trees in the unincorporated areas. Native oak woodlands are protected at the project level through CEQA and the General Plan rather than a per-tree permit. Removing oaks as part of development can require mitigation under California Public Resources Code § 21083.4.
