Tree removal permit rules in Anderson, IN — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
Indiana sets no statewide tree-removal permit, so trees on your own private property can generally be removed. In Anderson, the Tree Commission oversees street trees and tree-service licensing, and Code Enforcement handles hazardous trees.
For trees entirely on your private property, Indiana imposes no state removal permit, and Anderson does not publish a general private-tree removal permit. Street trees, right-of-way trees, and the city's broader green infrastructure fall under Anderson's seven-member Tree Commission, which oversees their health and maintenance and licenses tree-service companies working in the city. If a tree poses a safety hazard, Anderson Code Enforcement takes complaints about hazardous trees. Before removing a tree near the curb line or right-of-way, confirm it is not a protected street tree by contacting the Parks and Recreation Department at 765-648-6858.
Removing or damaging a public/street tree without authorization can draw a code-enforcement action; using an unlicensed tree service in the city may also be a violation.
