Private trees on your own lot need no county permit. In Greeley, a written permit is required before planting anything but lawn in a public right-of-way or parkway, and public/street trees are managed by city Forestry, so removing or working on them requires city authorization.
Weld County does not require a permit to remove a healthy tree on your own unincorporated property. The permit-triggering trees are public ones. In the City of Greeley, written permits are required before planting any plant material other than lawn in a public right-of-way or parkway strip, and trees or woody plants may not be planted in a parkway or right-of-way less than five feet wide. Because parkway and street trees fall under the city Forestry program, a resident cannot remove or heavily alter them without city involvement, and only arborists holding the Public Space Arborist endorsement may perform the work. Confirm whether a tree is private or in the right-of-way before acting.
Planting, removing, or working on right-of-way/parkway trees without the required Greeley permit or endorsement is a municipal code violation subject to citation and correction orders.
