Bristol Borough's municipal code does not appear to have a specific tree trimming ordinance or permit requirement based on available search results. General property maintenance is governed by the adopted International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC 2003). Trees within required buffer yards must be maintained as part of the zoning screening requirements. The PA Noxious Weed Control Law (Act 74) requires control of certain invasive species. Property owners are responsible for maintaining trees that affect sidewalks, streets, or neighboring properties. For public tree maintenance, contact the Borough's public works department.
Failure to maintain buffer yard plantings: zoning violation. Hazardous trees affecting public safety: Borough may require action.
