Tree removal permit rules in Western Connecticut, CT — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
A private owner may remove trees on their own land, but removal of street or public-right-of-way trees requires the town tree warden's permission and public notice (CGS §23-59, §23-65).
