Tree removal permit rules in Revere, MA — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
Tree removal on private property governed by Revere's zoning ordinance and building permit requirements. Street trees require a DPW permit. Wetlands buffer (100 ft) under MGL c. 131 §40 restricts work near wetlands, which is significant given Revere's coastal character.
Revere manages public street trees through city departments. Removing trees on public property or rights-of-way requires municipal approval. Private property tree removal is generally allowed but must comply with the Wetlands Protection Act MGL c. 131 Section 40 for work within 100 feet of wetlands. The Conservation Commission reviews tree removal near protected resource areas. Revere's coastal location means many properties are near protected wetland or buffer zones.
Unauthorized removal of public trees results in fines. Work near wetlands without Conservation Commission approval violates state law.
