2 rules for unincorporated Nevada County, California.
Verified from official government sources
Most of unincorporated Nevada County does not impose a general tree-removal permit on private property, but a Tree Removal Permit is required within the Nevada City Sphere of Influence Area Development Policy (ADP). Inside Nevada City limits, Ordinance 2023-03 requires a city permit for any tree with a cumulative diameter at breast height of 4 inches or more (Madrone, Manzanita, Oak) or 6 inches or more for all other species.
Most of western Nevada County is served by the Nevada Irrigation District (NID). Under NID's adopted Drought Contingency Plan, Stage 1 asks for 10% voluntary conservation and limits treated-water customers to every-other-day outdoor irrigation. Higher stages can mandate cutbacks, restrict new water sales to 1 miner's inch, and discourage flood irrigation. Truckee-area properties are served by the Truckee-Donner Public Utility District and follow its own conservation rules.
