No specific tree trimming ordinance exists in unincorporated Douglas County. Property owners must manage trees that become nuisances or obstruct county roads and right-of-ways.
Unincorporated Douglas County does not have a general tree trimming ordinance. Trees that overhang or obstruct county road right-of-ways may be required to be trimmed by the county road department. Trees or vegetation that create a nuisance or safety hazard for neighbors can be cited under the Nuisance Regulation. Nebraska Arborist Association recommends consulting licensed arborists for hazardous tree work. Tree removal near county roads or drainage easements may require a permit.
Trees obstructing county roads or creating nuisances may trigger county abatement action.
