Tree trimming on private property in unincorporated Dane County is generally unregulated at the county level. Trees within the right-of-way of county highways require county highway department coordination.
Dane County does not have a county-wide tree trimming ordinance for private property in unincorporated areas. Property owners are responsible for trimming trees on their land. Trees within or overhanging county highway rights-of-way may require coordination with the Dane County Highway Department. Shoreland and floodplain areas (Chapters 11 and 17) may restrict vegetation removal.
Unauthorized removal of vegetation in shoreland setback areas or floodplains is a violation of Dane County Chapters 11 and 17.
